COP 27: Indigenous Women Should #MakeTheNews 
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                                  
                             
                                Listen to their stories
                                  
                             
                                Indigenous women are at the frontline of the climate crisis.
                                They should make the headlines.
                                  
                                In an environmental era which Secretary-General António Guterres has called “a code red for humanity,” Indigenous women are particularly affected. They bear the scars of extractive industry and toxic pollution, and the burden of community care at a time when food, water, and safe shelter are hard to come by.
                                 

                                Yet far from being victims, Indigenous women are stepping up to fight for climate justice as organizers, land defenders, and symbols of resistance. Many are seeking to hold world leaders accountable for fulfilling promises of climate action at the COP27 Conference on Climate Change, which is currently taking place in Egypt.

                                  
                                This year, youth participation in the climate movement and climate finance have been at the forefront of conference proceedings. During the first week of the event, Indigenous women have made their voices heard demanding accountability and action from world leaders. Yet their voices continue to be marginalized in negociations and media coverage of COP27. Land Rights Now calls for the demands of Indigenous women to be centered and met during Week 2 of the conference. 
                                 

                                Our campaign #SheShouldMaketheNews highlights the voices of six Indigenous women making waves in the climate movement. Their experiences illustrate the importance of Indigenous women’s ontologies and worldview to climate justice, and the urgency with which they seek to generate climate action for their communities and the planet.
