Climate crisis, continues to ravage lives and livelihoods of millions of people across the world. In Africa, women, and girls in all their diversity continue to be disproportionately discriminated because of climate crisis. Yet their voices are muted, their realities ignored, and their needs unfulfilled. Left alone to survive multiple crisis, African women are organizing, preserving, and sharing indigenous knowledge and innovating to protect the environment, fight climate change and dismantle systems of oppression. African women and girls are certain that the climate narrative in the continent needs to change. It is against this backdrop that FEMNET launched the African Feminist Climate Justice RoadMap and the first Africa Feminist Academy for Climate Justice to deconstruct patriarchal systems of exploitation.
