Senegalese Women March for Climate Justice Ahead of Global Summit
In Dakar, approximately eighty women gathered for a climate march, advocating for justice as they face the harsh impacts of climate change. Organizers cite that women, especially those in rural areas, disproportionately experience challenges related to food production, water access, and natural resource gathering due to extreme weather. With the global climate summit in Baku underway, activists are calling for gender inequality to be prioritized in discussions. Over a million people in Senegal have been displaced this year due to climate-related disasters, highlighting the urgency for meaningful action and investment in early warning systems.
