Women

The impacts of climate change are not neutral considering gender: Girls and women are more vulnerable to them but, to the same extent, can boost the solution.

Two small, black girls are holding hands, their backs to the camera. They're crossing a small, wooden bridge onto a green lawn. The darker-skinned girl, who is on the left side, has her hair tied into a ponytail, with a white ribbon on top. She wears a white dress with a colorful pattern, as well as pale green shoes. Her left arm is outstretched. Her companion, to her right, is a lighter-skinned black child whose hair is divided into braids, a hot pink ribbon-shaped barrette on the end of each one. She wears a black dress with a pink and white pattern, and pink trim. Her shoes are also pink. The pink in the barrette, dress and shoes is the same shade.

Two women are looking at the camera. The one towards the left side of the photo has her body facing to the right and is smiling slightly. She has dark skin and dark brown curly hair tied back. She is wearing a white knee-length skirt with orange and red flower print, an orange long-sleeved shirt, and is holding a machete in her right hand. The other woman is standing further back, resting her left hand on her hips. She has white skin and has her brown hair tied back. She is wearing a black knee-length skirt over black pants and a bright blue long sleeve shirt. Around them is dirt ground and low foliage. In the background, a grassy plain and light blue sky with a few clouds.
