I’ve been an activist for a little while and have just recently realised that most grassroot organisations and events I’ve been a part of have been led by women. Climate change is and will disproportionately affect women, especially in the third World, and there’s plenty of women fighting, and fighting successfully, for their right to a safe environment.

Cheers,
