What does militarism have to do with the climate crisis, and why are grassroots women demanding climate justice alongside demilitarisation?

In our fourth webinar, “Women Resisting Militarism and Climate Imperialism,” grassroots women activists and movements from across Asia and the Pacific shared their lived experiences and feminist analysis of the links between militarisation, climate injustice and imperialism.

Hear from our speakers on how women and communities are demanding climate reparations, accountability for military industries, a shift from military spending towards climate finance, and genuine demilitarisation.

Together, they ask: What would feminist peace and justice look like in Asia and the Pacific, and beyond?

Rising military expenditures and the expansion of imperialist wars have continuously exacerbated the suffering of grassroots women and marginalised communities in Asia and the Pacific, displacing indigenous communities, destroying the environment and increasing sexual violence against women.

As countries build up their military power and feed their desire for global hegemony, social services are left behind, especially services needed by women and their families.

🗣 However, grassroots women, feminists, activists, human rights defenders and their allies refuse to be silenced, and are building up networks of resistance and solidarity from different communities in Asia and the Pacific.

Speakers from the first webinar, “Setting the Stage: The Feminist Analysis of Militarism” analysed militarism through a grassroots feminist lens and emphasised why feminist peace and justice are essential to resisting war and imperialism.

Hear from each of them how militarisation impacts women’s human rights, and what feminist peace and justice should look like in Asia and the Pacific, and beyond!

The webinar series “Women Resisting Militarism’s Grip Over Asia and the Pacific, Demanding Feminist Peace and Justice” has officially concluded, but our fight against imperialist wars and militarism continues!

Through the webinars, we heard directly from the voices of women from Asia and the Pacific how militarism has impacted their communities, the interconnectedness of our struggles, and how grassroots women are resisting together with feminist, multi-sectoral and transnational movements in the region and globally.

Today, as we commemorate the International Day of Peace, listen once again to the voices of women from Asia and the Pacific who are resisting militarism and imperialist wars, and are bringing forth their visions of feminist peace and justice in the region and beyond!

| What does a feminist future look like?

Our 2025 annual report, ‘Feminist Futures’, reflects on how APWLD and our members, partners and movements across Asia and the Pacific are reclaiming power, demanding accountability and building alternatives.

From food sovereignty and climate justice to digital rights, feminist financing, demilitarisation, access to justice and shifting narratives, we are building futures that are guided by justice, solidarity and collective power.

Explore what we challenged, what we built together and where we are going next.

Militarism is linked to imperialism, economic dominance, resource extraction and geopolitical power. Military force has historically been used to control territories, capture resources and reinforce unequal systems of power, contributing to today’s unprecedented climate crisis amid multiple, interconnected crises.

Yet the enormous carbon footprint of military industries and arms remains largely absent from climate accountability. The military sector continues to escape meaningful scrutiny for its emissions and environmental destruction, while communities on the frontlines, especially communities across the global south, bear the costs.

Around 14% of the world’s annual military spending could cover the annual climate adaptation needs of developing countries. We cannot continue military spending while claiming there is not enough climate finance for climate action.

What would it take to challenge militarism and advance climate justice?

Join our webinar to hear from activists and movements, exchange experiences and explore how we can demand climate reparations, hold military industries accountable, redirect military spending to climate finance, and advance genuine demilitarisation.
