Who We Are

Who Is GirlsCare?

GirlsCARE is a merging of girl power, of Jamaican climate scholar activists determined to use our platform and voices to create space and empower young women to advocate for gender justice in climate action

Why We Care?

The inequality and discrimination experienced by [marginalised] girls and young women are amplified by climate change

  • Sexual and reproductive health rights and access are disrupted due to climate induced disasters
  • Violence against girls increases in the form of sexual abuse, trafficking and other forms of exploitation due to economic losses
  • Empowerment of women and girls, political and economic is crucial to building the Caribbean’s resilience to climate change

How We Care?

  • We provide mentorship to girls and young women involved or interested in climate action.
  • We use our platforms to advocate for climate actions that are gender responsive.
  • We provide training and information on climate advocacy.
