Why is protecting Women Environmental Human Rights Defenders (WEHRDs) a feminist agenda?

Because climate crises and destructive development are not gender-neutral. Women on the frontlines of defending land, oceans, forests, and livelihoods face heightened risks of violence, criminalisation, and repression.

Protecting WEHRDs means ending violence against women defenders, ensuring safe spaces for organising, and guaranteeing meaningful participation in decision-making.

There is no climate justice without protecting those who defend our communities and environment.

Climate militarism and imperialism are driving forces behind the climate crisis. While militaries remain among the world's largest emitters, women and communities on the frontlines bear the heaviest burden—losing livelihoods, facing increased care work, and watching their environments and futures be destroyed.

We demand an end to wars of aggression, militarism, and the exploitation of the Global South in the name of profit and resource control. Climate justice cannot exist without peace, demilitarisation, and accountability.

Climate finance must reach the communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis—not just fund large-scale projects that benefit corporations.

Women and communities must have meaningful participation in decision-making, and direct access to resources that support community-led, rights-based, and ecologically sustainable solutions.

"False solution is one challenge to reduce emissions of greenhouse gas. Therefore, feminist movements' goal is to change false solution to real solution."

False solutions won't solve the climate crisis. Feminist movements are pushing for real solutions that cut emissions, protect communities, and put justice at the centre of climate action. The path to climate justice must be rooted in people, rights, and systemic change.

WATCH: During the General Discussion on Decent Work in the Platform Economy at the 114th International Labour Conference ( ), APWLD member Tannaree Jaruprasit, a woman ride-hailing driver and Chair of the Southern Riders Association Thailand, delivered a powerful intervention on behalf of women workers in the platform sector.

She spoke about the realities of women drivers and delivery workers, where their bodies have become sites of extraction. Every kilometer, every order, every second of their time converted into profit, without equal protection or rights.

In her statement, Tannaree put forward urgent feminist demands for a system that is no longer built on the sacrifice of women, real protection, not the illusion of flexibility, and universal social protection, living wages, safe working conditions and the recognition of care work as part of the economy.

WATCH: At the 114th International Labour Conference ( ), APWLD member Joanne Cesario from Kilusang Mayo Uno, delivered a powerful statement to highlight how escalating geopolitical tensions, wars and conflicts have intensified the already precarious conditions faced by women workers across all aspects of life.

These realities expose the true nature of an economic system that claims to promote development, while in fact deepening inequality, exploitation and militarism.

Our oceans sustain food systems, livelihoods, cultures, and biodiversity for millions of people. As discussions on ocean-based climate action continue, the knowledge, rights, and leadership of small-scale fishers, Indigenous Peoples, women, and coastal communities must be recognised and respected.

Ocean solutions must strengthen food sovereignty, protect marine ecosystems, and support the communities that have cared for coastal and marine resources for generations. The future of our oceans must be shaped not by exploitation, but by justice, sustainability, and the well-being of both people and planet.

APWLD's side event at the 114th , “Centering Women’s Voices to Challenge Structural Inequality in the World of Work”, brought together workers and trade unionists across sectors to challenge structural inequalities shaping the world of work.

Garment workers, ride-hailing drivers, domestic workers and feminist activists across countries shared their experiences and exposed how global systems continue to reproduce injustice in the world of work.

✊🏽 We demand systemic change to end precarious work, resist neoliberalism and corporate control, and fight for a just and dignified world of work.
