The Global Women’s Climate Justice Day of Action happened on September 25th, 2015, including women from more than 50 countries. The main idea of this initiative was to draw attention to how women are disproportionately affected by climate change and the importance of having women at the forefront of decision-making processes to of tackle climate issues. Throughout the world, different expressions and demonstrations happened. In Nigeria, African women gathered for a March for Energy, Food and Climate Justice, protesting the extraction of fossil fuels and its impacts on the environment, explained WoMin (African Women United Against Destruction Resource Extraction). Belen of Ecuador also discussed protests against non-renewable energy and the demand for a transition to green energy sources. In India, Reetu Sogani of Chintan International Trust spoke about how women exchange seeds to protect their rights to connect with nature. Caritas Pakistan organized discussions about climate change and the planting of fruit trees. Many other organizations around the world organized different speeches and events for this day, such as Winona LaDuke, Founder of Honor the Earth and Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland and President of the Mary Robinson Foundation – Climate Justice; and Women’s Earth and Climate Action Network Executive Director, Osprey Orielle Lake, who was the main organizer of this initiative.
