African Women Uniting For Energy, Food And Climate Justice

In October 2015, the WomIn African Gender and Extractions Alliance brought together 60 women’s rights activists from across the African continent to discuss the meaning of energy, climate, food and ecological justice for African women. This report, published following the meeting in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, discusses the negative social and environmental impacts of fossil fuel extraction and the resulting effects of climate change on women, their livelihoods and their communities.
