Climate Justice & GESI

Centering Equity in Climate & Health Action

Women, youth, indigenous peoples, and persons with disabilities face the greatest risks from climate change, yet they are often excluded from decision-making.

At AFRIHECOM, Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) is not a side project β€” it’s the foundation of everything we do.

πŸ› οΈ What We Do 🎯 Why It Matters Our Approach

Overview
Climate impacts hit hardest among women, youth, indigenous peoples, and people with disabilities. Justice and equity must be central to climate-health solutions.

We ensure that no one is left behind in the climate-health movement.

βœ… Inclusive Research & Data

We collect disaggregated data by gender, age, disability, and ethnicity to reveal hidden inequalities.

βœ… Community-Led Dialogues

We host listening sessions with marginalized groups to understand their unique challenges and solutions.

βœ… GESI Integration in Programs

We train all staff and partners to mainstream GESI in WASH, livelihoods, health, and communication projects.

βœ… Advocacy for Policy Change

We work with governments to adopt inclusive climate policies that recognize the rights and leadership of marginalized communities.

β€œAs a woman with a disability, I was never asked about climate plans. Now I’m on the county task force.”

  • Challenge discrimination
  • Elevate underrepresented voices
  • Build solidarity across communities

β€œWhen a disabled woman leads a flood preparedness meeting, the whole community becomes more resilient.”
