23.01.2022 Say it again. Women are leaders! #FeministFriday

23.01.2022 Women in the Philippines have been devastated by three typhoons in three weeks and the next storm could hit at any time. ActionAid is on the ground working with women leaders in the Philippines to build their resilience and make sure that women’s rights are protected during an emergency. Your donation today could support these women to prepare their communities before a disaster, and distribute essentials like food, dignity kits and solar lamps in the aftermath. ...

22.01.2022 Indigenous women have already been badly hit by the COVID-19 lockdown. Being unable to transport their produce and access markets has led to increasing poverty and hunger in their communities, said Judy Pasimio, coordinator at LILAK, Indigenous women’s right organisation. LILAK, has mobilised a local women’s network of trained emergency responders to lead their communities in the aftermath of Typhoon Goni that struck the Philippines last week. ActionAid is working with LILAK to provide emergency relief to help rebuild homes and provide essential food support, water, hygiene kits and blankets. The network is also using SMS messages to send out vital public health information and updates on COVID-19 and tropical storms to help keep hard to reach communities safe!

15.01.2022 I have gained knowledge from every woman coming from all over the world to participate in this international forum. They shared a lot about their small groups and women’s networks in their local community, as well as their communities’ initiatives toward disaster when it happens. When I return home, I will share all this knowledge to my local community. - Pak Pov, woman leader in Cambodia. Support leaders like Pak. Make a donation now and your gift will be DOUBLED!

13.01.2022 Youth and women’s leadership [for me] is how you handle the situations even though you are still young, you can still manage and to help others despite the difficulties you may encounter, says Abegail Romulo, a youth volunteer for PKKK (National Rural Women’s Coalition). Abegail is part of a team of volunteers helping to rebuild their communities after three devastating typhoons struck the Philippines in November 2020.

05.01.2022 The climate emergency persists and is wreaking havoc, said climate negotiator Yeb Saño in response to Typhoons Goni and Molave that devastated communities across Vietnam and the Philippines last week. The Philippines and Vietnam are among the most prepared nations for the tropical storm season, with effective early warning systems and life-saving evacuation plans. But climate disasters like these are increasing in intensity and frequency. Typhoon Molave alone will cost Viet...nam $430 million in economic losses. Yet the global community continues to come up short when it comes to supporting the countries on the frontline of the climate crisis. As we mark the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement this year, rich countries must step up and take action on climate change.

04.01.2022 While I may be the first woman in this office. I will not be the last, because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities, said Kamala Harris in her acceptance speech as Vice-President elect of the USA last week. Last week Kamala Harris claimed her place in history on Saturday night with a speech honoring the women who she said paved the way for this moment, when the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants would stand before the na...tion as the vice-president-elect of the United States.
