Campaigning for Gender and Climate Justice
The Southern African Development Community Gender Protocol is a is a legally binding regional instrument adopted in 2008 to empower women, eliminate gender discrimination, and achieve gender equality. Gender Links coordinates the SADC Gender Protocol Alliance, which is a network of 15 national women’s rights organizations and nine regional organizations who are advocating for a stand-alone article on climate justice in the SADC Gender Protocol. Through capacity building on gender and climate rights, specific country campaigns on climate justice, and a research publication on gender and climate justice in the region, Gender Links is working with Alliance members to ensure gender policies take climate into account.
