COP26

COP26 ♀

When COP26 came to Glasgow in 2021, I organised a panel of young migrant women to have a conversation about feminist political participation, the CEDAW convention and climate justice.

The Political Participation of Young Migrant Women in the Pursuit of Climate Justice

Why do young female migrants' voices matter in the pursuit of climate resilience and adaptation? How can we encourage migrant women’s political participation and leadership? What tools are available for migrant women to meaningfully address broader frameworks of injustice in the struggle for climate justice?

ITV Border Interview

We spoke to ITV Border’s Gregory Hoare about how we had to invite ourselves to COP26 and stress that the disproportionate impact of climate change on women needs to be acknowledged and women must be part of the solution.
