#Women and #girls make up 80% of the people #displaced by #ClimateChange . Once displaced, not only do they have to #survive - they have to care for their families—all while evading the heightened #risk of violence.

For many women, trying to break into industries traditionally dominated by men or start their own businesses hasn't been easy. Those who have managed it say flexible & #inclusive #WorkEnvironments & #mentorship programs have been key to their success.
From #construction to #aerospace, these #women say the added #support can go a long way toward reducing #GenderBiases & help balance careers & home life.

[Every year on #InternationalWomensDay since 2018, #AuratMarch is held in cities across #Pakistan where #women and #gender #minorities come together and speak up about #GenderBased #patriarchal #injustices . This year, I went to the march with a placard that said, “I march for my mom who was not allowed to go to school.”]

When #Minister #GlendaStrongRobinson of Longmont skipped class in 1968 to march with #DrMartinLutherKingJr there were many things that she couldn’t have foreseen: That the #Memphis #SanitationWorkersStrike she was supporting would become #iconic in #CivilRights #history . That Dr. King would be #assassinated within days. And that 55 years later, she would receive a #LifetimeAchievementAward in his honor.

'A small percentage of proceeds from sales of “What the Moon Did” will go to the #PlannedParenthood national organization, Inclán said.

Lauren Eggenberger, 3rd year Southern #Medical Program student based at #UBC Okanagan published #research examining #ramifications of #maternal evacuation—those who need to #travel to give birth. Only 4 of 33 communities in #NWT have #maternity care - 40%+ of #women must travel at least 100km.
"For many years, #perinatal travel has been an #oppressive and #isolating process for #Dene , #Métis and #Inuvialuit women in the #NorthwestTerritories "

"#WomenOfColor felt these disruptions to the greatest degree and have been the ones to turn the greatest #obstacles into #opportunities for themselves," says Pardue. They were also, he adds, the most likely to start a #business aimed at helping their #community , particularly through #education , #healthcare or #nonprofits .
"Access to #capital remains the biggest issue for #women #BusinessOwners , and it's even worse for women of color," says Prince-Eason.
