The "We Women Are Water" campaign, launched in 2017, is a flagship campaign of GAGGA. The campaign looks at water as a metaphor for an element that flows through different thematic areas, acting as a connector and highlighting the interconnectedness of our struggles, solutions, and collective power. The campaign highlights gender just climate solutions and actions led by women, girls, non-binary, intersex, and trans people from the GAGGA network; from advancing just and sustainable energy practices at the community level, to sustainable, regenerative, and circular production systems such as agroecology, to holding international institutions, corporations, governments and investors involved in any harmful projects or policies to account. It calls for divestment of climate finance from false solutions and dangerous distractions and toward these gender just climate solutions that already exist and have evidenced to be crucial in mitigating climate change impact. Explore our campaigns to see how GAGGA partners innovate and collaborate to challenge systemic injustices.
