The GirlsCARE Mentorship program is a young feminist led initiative that aims to empower women and girls as advocates for climate action that safeguards the economic, social and environmental rights of women in adaptation and resilience building efforts nationally and regionally.
Our specific goals in this regard are to empower women and girls to engage climate change by building awareness and technical capacity through mentorship and training to advocate for the adoption of gender sensitive and climate just approaches to youth engagement in adaptation and resilience building strategies at the national level, to promote women’s and girls economic, social and environmental rights and to promote an integrated approach to climate/gender justice in youth engagement and development planning.
