Empowering Indigenous Women Leaders: Advocating for Rights and Climate Action

Zo Indigenous Forum, in collaboration with the Fill Life Access Trust and supported by the Global Greengrants Fund, successfully organized a capacity-building event aimed at empowering Indigenous women leaders. The forum brought together over 20 participants from various Indigenous communities.

During the event, the women leaders engaged in sessions focused on the recognition and protection of Indigenous Peoples' rights, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to address pressing issues affecting their communities. Key discussions centered around the impacts of climate change and strategies for advocating for sustainable environmental practices.

By the conclusion of the forum, participants had enhanced their skills in conducting effective advocacy campaigns, enabling them to lead initiatives in their regions and promote the protection of Indigenous rights in the face of global challenges.
