We’re excited to share World Rainforest Movement’s 3-episode podcast “Women’s Struggles for Land.” This series highlights the stories of women resisting industrial oil palm plantations that invade their lands and disrupt their communities. From Sierra Leone to Mexico to Indonesia, these women’s voices expose the violent impacts of monocultures, land grabs, and carbon offset projects—phenomena that not only devastated the environment but also deepen existing gender inequalities. 🔊 Listen now: bit.ly/WomenLandPodcast #WomensRights #LandRights #EnvironmentalJustice #ClimateAction #Podcast

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (November 25). Addressing all forms of violence against women, including violence at the intersection of gender, conflict, and the environment, is critical. Women environmental defenders in the Global South, are disproportionately targeted for their activism, often facing violence, displacement, and assassination. Dalena Tran’s critical analysis of the murder of 31 Filipina women environmental defenders highlights this intersection of gender-based violence and environmental justice, emphasizing the need to address extractive violence as both a feminist and environmental crisis. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/3Onw2o5 #GenderViolence #EnvironmentalViolence #HumanRights #Feminism

Indigenous delegates at #COP29 on #ClimateChange are advocating for ambitious commitments on the #LossAndDamage fund, direct financing access for #IndigenousPeoples, a just energy transition, and carbon market regulation, while pushing for #IndigenousRights and #IndigenousKnowledge to be central in negotiations and forest conservation efforts, as less than 2.1% of climate funds from the 2021 U.N. pledge reached Indigenous Peoples directly in 2022. #IndigenousClimateSolutions #IndigenousSelfDetermination https://lnkd.in/ebGjDrkG

Last week, the Consortium hosted Sarah Ihmoud, Ph.D., the second speaker in our Fall 2024 Speaker Series. Dr. Ihmoud is a Chicana-Palestinian anthropologist committed to elevating the voices, histories, and political contributions of Palestinian women and the Palestinian feminist movement. In her hybrid talk, “Countering Reproductive Genocide in Gaza: Palestinian Women’s Testimonies,” she centered Palestinian women’s testimonies collected by Birzeit University’s Institute for Women’s Studies. Her analysis explored the multiple and intersecting forms of colonial gender violence that destroy Palestinian kinship systems, while also highlighting the life-affirming practices of survival embodied by women in the face of genocide in Gaza. If you are interested in Dr. Ihmoud’s talk, the recording of the event is now available: bit.ly/SarahIhmoudTalk To further explore Dr. Ihmoud’s scholarship, you may want to start with her article, “Palestinian Feminism: Analytics, Praxes and Decolonial Futures”, published in Feminist Anthropology: bit.ly/SarahIhmoudArticle Also see the work of the Palestinian Feminist Collective, an organization Dr. Ihmoud co-founded, which is committed to Palestinian liberation by confronting systemic gendered, sexual, and colonial violence, oppression, and dispossession. (https://lnkd.in/e9esSF8v) For further context, Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian’s article, “The Politics of Birth and the Intimacies of Violence Against Palestinian Women in Occupied East Jerusalem,” provides powerful insights into the personal impact of surveillance and aggression on young Palestinian mothers.
