Women’s Voices for Climate Justice: Practices, Resistance and Perspectives of Empowerment in South Kivu.
This report is the result of participatory social study conducted in the territories of Kabare, Kalehe and the city of Bukavu (South Kivu Province, DRC). It aims at making women’s contributions to climate justice, at promoting their ecological resilience practices, and at analyzing the obstacles that hinder their inclusion in environmental governance.
In a context marked by increasingly perceptible climate change: unpredictable rains, violent winds, prolonged droughts, accelerated deforestation, floods, declining soil fertility; women emerge as key players in adaptation and social transformation. Responsible for the daily management of natural resources, they initiate concrete actions in their communities: reforestation, production of ecological briquettes, biomass, livestock farming, sustainable agriculture, plastic recycling, collective nurseries, community awareness raising and water management.
