Gender equality today = a healthier planet tomorrow.

Women are tackling climate change at all levels, and their participation and leadership make climate action more effective. This International Women’s Day donate* to support women and girls leading efforts to protect and restore our planet.

Climate change and gender equality

Climate change affects the entire planet and all people, although not in the same way or to the same degree. Around 21.5 million people worldwide are displaced every year by climate change-related events^[1], of these, 80% are women.^[2]Climate disasters have been shown to increase gender-based violence, including domestic violence, child marriage, and human trafficking^[3,4,5].

UN Women is working to change that. By harnessing the power of women and girls leading climate action, we can protect and restore our planet, and mitigate the impacts of climate change. We haven’t a moment to spare – act now.

*Monthly gifts help us empower and protect more women and girls. By making a monthly donation to UN Women, you will provide women and girls with ongoing relief and protection, help them regain hope for a better future and protect our planet. Join our family of monthly donors today!
