Women at the Frontlines: A Case Study Analysis of the Gender, Conflict, and Climate Nexus
This new report brings together powerful stories and sharp analysis from women and gender diverse environmental defenders in Brazil, Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, Nigeria, and the Philippines. It dives into how conflict, climate change, and gender inequality collide in their lives, and how extractive industries, forced displacement, and militarization fuel violence, exclusion, and injustice.
But this is also a story of resistance. Across regions, women are rising to defend their territories, reclaim power, and lead bold, grassroots strategies for land defense, peace building, and climate justice. Their organizing is fierce, creative, and deeply rooted in care and community.
The report offers clear recommendations for donors ready to stand with frontline movements and fund transformative, locally led action.
