Activists
As the world braces itself for ongoing climate protests, we need to celebrate and support social and environmental activist movements. Women are often at the forefront: inspiring climate activists like Greta Thunberg, Vanessa Nakate, Dominika Lasota and Mitzi Tan, but also courageous women like Esther Ze Naw Bamvo and Ei Thinzar Maung who are leading anti-military protests in Myanmar, Olimpia Coral Melo Cruz whose activism got Mexico to pass a law prohibiting revenge porn, and Phyllis Omido, who fought for a $12 million settlement for lead-poisoning victims in her community in Kenya. Solidarity!
