Women's Climate Leadership in Pakistan & The Philippines. * This event is part of the WO=MEN co-ordinated Bejing+30 Campaign. IN PERSON ONLY

The Hague Humanity Hub

When a climate disaster hits, will menstrual products be made available to those that are displaced? A crucial question for anybody with a period, but unfortunately one that is unlikely to be answered if only men are a part of designing disaster response policies and measures.Whilst the climate crisis impacts everybody everywhere, it doesn’t do so equally. We know that women and girls in all their diversity, specifically in the Global South, are the ones that are hit first and hardest by climate change and yet are sparsely involved in climate decision-making spaces. With the upcoming climate summit in Baku in November and the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Women's Summit next March in New York, we must seize this moment to ensure that the needs, solutions and leadership of those women at the forefront of the climate crisis take centre stage.In this joint event by Women Engage for a Common Future and CARE Nederland, we are honoured to be joined by four experts and leaders from Pakistan and The Philippines who engage with at-risk communities (and women in particular) in establishing climate disaster preparedness and response measures. They will lead us in a conversation on how we can and should foster feminist climate leadership from the ground up. In this worldcafe style event you will be able to ask your questions to these local experts, and engage in a casual setting.Be a part of the conversation! Join us on the 31st of October at 15:30 at the Humanity Hub in The Hague. Speakers:<ul><li>Ansherina Talavera: Program Coordinator of the Humanitarian and Peacebuilding Unit at CARE Philippines, overseeing CARE’s humanitarian actions, disaster risk reduction, anticipatory actions, and peacebuilding initiatives.</li><li>Sindhy Obias: Executive Director of the Assistance and Cooperation for Community Resilience and Development (ACCORD), a Philippine women-led non-government organization.</li><li>Hira Amjad: is an award-winning feminist social and climate justice leader, Founder and Executive Director of DASTAK Foundation, a women/survivor-led non-profit in Pakistan.</li><li>Ayesha Amin is a young climate, feminist activist, Founder of Baithak - Challenging Taboos, a women led, feminist, grassroots organization that works for gender justice in Pakistan.
