The Caribbean Feminist Climate Justice Movement is a collective of gender specialists, researchers and organizations informed by feminist and Indigenous knowledge systems that is dedicated to advancing gender equality and climate justice in the Carib-bean, while the Global Fund for Women is a key champion for the movement in the Caribbean, providing generous financial support while also building capacity and fostering connections to ensure the continued growth and success of the CFCJM.
In a release dated October 21, the CFCJM stated that that these “historic” grants, given to Green Heart Movement, Red Thread, and Wapichan Women’s Movement, will finance grassroots initiatives in Guyana that address the critical intersection of climate action and gender justice.
