Nearly five hundred participants from Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe gathered at the 4th Women Deliver Conference, the world’s largest forum centering on the well-being and health of women and girls. Most of the participants had witnessed first-hand women from their communities living in harsh environmental and economic conditions with susceptibility to health risks. Among the participants were Majandra Rodrigues Acha, a Peruvian environmental activist illustrating links between climate change and women’s health, Alicia Moncada, project manager for the Indigenous Women’s Organization (Venezuela), campaigning for women’s rights to a safe environment and Betty Bakrha of Fiji, appealing for committed climate action.
