Women Rising: Tackling GBVH in a Changing Climate

FORGE hosted an official NGO CSW event based on our Women Rising narrative series in collaboration with Devex.

The event focused on the intersection of climate change and intensifying gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) in the world of work, and spotlighted how women workers are organizing in response. We heard from women leaders from the field, who will share their experiences and strategies for advancing gender equity amid a changing climate.

Speakers included:

Moderator: Sonia Mistry, Director, Climate and Labor Justice, Solidarity Center

Anannya Bhattacharjee, President, Garment and Allied Workers Union and Asia Floor Wage Alliance

Adriana Paz Ramirez, General Secretary, International Domestic Workers Federation

Violet Shivutse, Founder and Coordinator, Shibuye
