Mauritius

Members of the Rural Women’s Assembly (RWA) together with close to 100 activists, largely from Africa, attended an international conference on ecology that was held in Mauritius and hosted by the Centre for Alternative Research and Studies (CARES), an eco-socialist collective in the country. RWA’s presentation focused on building the movements, agency and voice of poor rural women in Africa who are fighting the effects of climate change and its structural causes. For the women of the RWA, the struggle against climate change is a struggle against capitalism and most importantly, a daily struggle for alternatives and world that is truly just for all.
