This Earth Day, Let’s #Elevate Equality

zontasaysnow

Earth Day on 22 April, is a time to reflect on the health of our planet—and the disproportionate impact that environmental changes have on women and girls.

As Zontians, we shine a light on how climate change worsens existing inequalities, threatening women’s and girls’ education, employment, safety, and leadership opportunities.

Climate-related disasters are on the rise—and so is the urgency to act. That’s why this 22 April, Zonta International invites you to Elevate Equality by taking action in your own community. Here’s how you can get involved:

Support and recognize businesses committed to environmental, social and governance responsibilities. 

Check that your community’s disaster and preparedness response plans adequately address the needs of women and girls.

Engage your local press by sending an op-ed or letter to the editor highlighting the key facts and information about how 22 April is a day for women’s rights.

Zonta International is a global human rights organisation committed to building a better world for women and girls. In short, Zonta Says YES to gender equality, NO to violence against women and NOW to gender equal climate action. Due to systemic gender inequality, women and girls have fewer resources and choices to recover from extreme weather events. Zonta Says NOW to gender-equal climate action is Zonta's campaign seeking climate justice for women and girls - so they can prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from the impacts of climate change on the same basis as men. The idea for the campaign began in the Zonta Club of Perth in Western Australia.
