Happy Womenās History Month and International Womenās Day! šæ
Today and everyday, we give gratitude, acknowledgement, and respect to the women and femmes for the gifts they provide our communities all across Turtle Island and beyond.
#Matriarchy #WomensHistoryMonth #InternationalWomensDay
Taking place during the #CBDCOP16, we discussed the need to understand #gender as a cross-cutting issue, and the challenges to uplift women's participation and ensure their rights, knowledge and lived experiences are integrated in policy and decision-making processes. #IWD2025 #AcceleratingAction
In honour of #InternationalWomensDay I'd like to share my recent #podcast series produced for the CBD Women's Caucus, a self-organised platform enabling #women & #girls worldwide to advocate for their rights in biodiversity decision-making processes at all levels.
