INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S MONTH
Four Online Events during March 2021
Presented by No Limits for Women/Sustaining All Life/United to End Racism (NL4W/SAL/UER)
Females are essential to the health, and wellbeing of families and communities. Sexism and
male domination shape the lives of all females throughout the world. Racism, genocide, and
classism that targets poor and working class females add additional hurts. The climate crisis
amplifies and disproportionately affects these females and their communities. The impacts are
severe--limiting lives and leadership.
Our goals are to share our understanding about the role of oppression in climate change and
what to do about it. We will be highlighting key women’s issues with the intersection of the
climate emergency including: exploitation, lack of access to resources, violence and the
pandemic.
Addressing and ending sexism, male domination and its impacts is one of the most important
things we can do to end the climate emergency. Women and girls are key in turning the tide to
end this crisis.

Ending sexual violence and healing its effects are necessary for the full empowerment of all women and girls. While sexual violence and threats of sexual violence are experienced by every woman and girl, the impact of this form of violence disproportionately affects women and girls who are poor, of color, young and/or marginalized. Our panel of grassroots women leaders from around the world will discuss a) the tools they have use to overcome the emotional effects of sexual violence in their own lives and b) how to help others to do the same.
