Women at the Frontlines: A Case Study Analysis of the Gender, Conflict, and Climate Nexus
This report by GAGGA examines how women and gender-diverse environmental defenders across Brazil, Burkina Faso, DRC, Mozambique, Nigeria, and the Philippines are impacted by and responding to the intersecting crises of conflict, climate change, and gender inequality. It highlights how extractive industries, forced displacement, and militarization fuel gendered violence and exclusion, and how women lead powerful grassroots strategies for land defense, peacebuilding, and climate justice. With actionable recommendations for donors, it calls for transformative, locally-led solutions rooted in justice, sustainability, and community resilience.
