'Groups on the front lines, especially Indigenous and rural women, face violations of their land and human rights and deforestation and biodiversity loss in their territories, without having access to positions of power to stop it.'

In my work, I constantly see how women are prevented from owning their own land and resources, and are excluded from real and equal participation in local, national, and global natural resources governance. Groups on the front lines, especially Indigenous and rural women, face violations of their land and human rights and deforestation and biodiversity loss in their territories, without having access to positions of power to stop it.

This is why defending women’s rights and community rights should be at the center of our climate activism. I advocate for the rights of forest communities and support local women’s groups to strengthen their own community-based initiatives on forest restoration, sustainable livelihoods, food sovereignty, and women’s land rights.

I’ve come to recognize that the mainstream climate movement’s shift in strategy to “center” the narratives of Black, Brown, and Indigenous peoples on the front lines of crises has actually meant exploitation of our labor and resources. Beyond mobilizations, there’s little genuine, long-term effort to build the deep relationships and trust needed to facilitate authentic collaborations that Black, Brown, and Indigenous feminist leadership demands.

We need to shift these relationships to redistribute resources and funding to grassroots movements pioneering solutions that impact people’s day-to-day livelihoods. If we’re rooted in Black, Brown, and Indigenous queer feminisms, we must acknowledge those on the margins of society are already tackling the problems we face.

Is that near the corner of Hysteria and Make Believe?

This reads like it was written in English, but it's not really English.

You just know if they build a trans friendly hurricane shelter it won't be good enough because it can accommodate xer emotional support rooster.

K!

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Please translate into understandable language.

Bunch of gobbledygook 🦄💨💨💨

They're soon to be living at the intersection of a hurricane and their ass.

can someone seriously explain to me why a trans woman would be afraid to sleep in a hurricane evacuation center?

😂😂😂 That person needs to just man up! And realize that hurricanes are no more frequent or powerful than they’ve ever been.

Bahahaha

This intersection of Cris and Patriarchy? Hip area—lots of crystal stores & vegan coffee bars. My astrologer lives about half a block from there.

Teen Fugue

Take the alphabets Put them in a blender Post it on twitter

I had to read that over twice and I still don't understand it.

Jibberish

I'm certain the shelter was completely without adequate vegan options.

🙄

Just when I don’t think things could POSSIBLY any more stupid, here comes Teen Vogue again with the ultra idiotic. Please stop, and find something constructive to do, like a jigsaw puzzle or something.

Is Teen Vogue the satirical version of Vogue? Like the Onion or Babylon Bee? Lol

Lmao is this real?

Hahahahahahaha

Damned right men aren't allowed in the women's showers during a natural disaster in Houston. Young girls use those facilities -- what's wrong with you people?

What is this pish?

Maybe they should try sleeping in the evacuation center and live at the intersection of happy and healthy

What kind of thought poison is this?

Comedy gold!

Wow, the depth of mental illness continues to get worse.

The grievance hierarchy is so hard to keep up with. I have no idea who should be on the highest perch above the rest of us normies. Is there a point system?

You guys should go back to telling teens how to have safe anal sex.

Feminism is poison

Now *this* is pod racing!

Only thing their missing to get all their talking points in is a socialism tie in

How pathetic!

Lmao

Totally normal rational headline

LMAOOO

Lmao

Teen Vogue at it again

This is what happens when you agree with the guy next door that he really is Napoleon and that you're going to spend all of your savings trying to find his armies.

What ever happened to “hair styles for back to school”? WTF is this programming?

Completely stupid.

WTF!?! 🙄

Doesn’t know which way the wind blows
