Gender justice is climate justice. Women, girls, and trans and intersex people – especially in the Global South – are hit hardest by climate disasters, which is exactly why they’re leading the charge for solutions.
They are fighting for land rights, sustainable farming, and community-led energy, putting people at the heart of climate action.
How can funders support gender-just climate action? Check out Equality Fund & Mama Cash’s joint climate finance brief to learn more.

🌍Girls & young feminists live with the deep impact of the climate crisis, yet taking action to respond - from educating new generations in classrooms to sitting with decision-makers & taking people on a journey of understanding.
Lifting @GirlsPlatform & their crucial work.🍃

For 40 years, Mama Cash has been moving money to women, girls, and trans and intersex people fighting for their rights. Here are 4 achievements we’re celebrating: 💥
1. 1983: Mama Cash sets up the world’s first international women’s fund.
2. Throughout the 80s and 90s, Mama Cash loan guarantees for women entrepreneurs changed the Dutch banking sector’s attitudes and practices. Today, 40% of all Dutch entrepreneurs are women!
3. Mama Cash supported racialised feminists fighting racism and patriarchy in the Netherlands and beyond. “We always wanted to do more controversial things and Mama Cash was our main funder” - Dyi Dieuwertje Huijg, Stichting Zami.
4. From the beginning, Mama Cash backed sex workers fighting for their rights. Since 2012, Mama Cash hosts the Red Umbrella Fund – the first & only global fund dedicated to supporting the rights of sex workers

"We are honored to work with hundreds of youths around the world who are actively solving problems they are personally experiencing — whether it's climate change, the ethics of AI, social justice, or gross inequality. They should have seats at decision-making tables. I believe this because as a young Black Panther, I was just like them... Let youth lead the way. Just imagine what those young energetic minds can do." — @nilerodgers, @WeAreFamilyFdtn (WAFF) Co-Founder & Chairman, 2024 World Economic Forum Crystal Award acceptance speech ❤️
On Monday, June 24, 2024, WAFF will release the findings from the Global Study: Collaborating Across Generations.

Why the environment is a Feminist issue
Climate change is not gender-neutral. Gender justice must be at the heart of climate justice efforts. When women, girls, and trans and intersex people across the world fight for their rights, this includes the right to water, food, and a healthy environment.
Check out Mama Cash and Gagga's brief on why the environment is a feminist issue.

It has been an amazing regional conference on L&D. The key ask of the conference was simple, how do we ensure modalities around the fund, and the technical capacity is accessible for all, even at the grassroot level, while enhancing coordination.

“Activist doesn’t just mean speaking on behalf of communities. It means standing alongside them and sharing their struggles.”
