Feminist leadership is rooted in collective power, care, and justice. This photo captures moments from our feminist leadership training, where women come together to strengthen their voices, share lived experiences, and build skills for transformative change. Grounded in intersectionality, the training creates space to reflect on how gender, climate, and social inequalities shape leadership—and how women can challenge these systems through solidarity and action. Feminist leadership is not about domination or hierarchy; it is about collaboration, accountability, and uplifting one another. Through dialogue, reflection, and collective learning, participants reclaim leadership as a practice of care, resistance, and community-building. This training recognizes women—especially those from marginalized and Indigenous communities—not only as participants, but as leaders, knowledge holders, and change-makers. By investing in feminist leadership, we are cultivating resilient communities and nurturing leaders who center justice, inclusion, and sustainability. When women lead with empathy and courage, movements grow stronger and futures become more just.

Locating women in Climate Change and Climate Justice means recognizing where women already stand—at the frontlines of climate impacts and at the heart of community solutions. In this photo activity, we center women’s lived experiences, stories, and leadership in the face of environmental crises. From managing water and food systems to protecting land, caring for families, and organizing collective action, women carry the weight of climate change while actively shaping resilience every day. Yet their labor, knowledge, and leadership are often invisible in policies and climate decision-making spaces. A feminist climate justice lens challenges this erasure by asking: Where are women located in the climate crisis, and why must they be centered in solutions? Locating women means acknowledging power, inequality, and systemic barriers rooted in patriarchy, colonialism, and economic injustice. It also means uplifting women—especially Indigenous and marginalized women—as agents of change, not just beneficiaries of aid. Climate action becomes just, inclusive, and transformative when women’s voices are seen, heard, and valued.
