Déclaration de la Journée Internationale des Femmes Travailleuses 2026
Summary
The statement asserts that gender inequality is deeply linked to environmental destruction and systemic exploitation. It highlights how women and gender-marginalized people are disproportionately affected by ecological collapse and militarization while leading resistance efforts. The text calls for international action to protect environmental defenders, end militarization, and ensure equitable access to land and resources.
Key insights
- Environmental degradation exacerbates gender inequality, as women often face increased burdens for basic needs like water and food when ecosystems are destroyed, and their livelihoods are threatened by the militarization or exploitation of territories.
- Women and gender-marginalized individuals are both the most impacted by environmental destruction, conflict, and economic injustice, and are simultaneously at the forefront of resistance and environmental defense.
- The document identifies structural forces—including patriarchy, militarism, racism, colonial legacy, corporate power, and imperialism—as the root causes of systems that exploit land, bodies, and communities.
- The statement calls for specific international and governmental actions, including protecting environmental and human rights defenders, ending policies of militarization and genocide, guaranteeing access to land and decision-making power, and investing in universal public services and care systems.
