Girls for Climate Action is a grassroot Girl/Young women eco-feminist movement that is putting our realities and experiences to advocate for climate justice at the local and national levels. The movement was started by young women and girls who live in the riparian zones of the River Nile in Jinja, Uganda whose activism started from the experience of floods and droughts and at the same time the lack of freedom to access the River Nile and the various streams that were being polluted by investors.
The movement started to demand leaders for action and ensure that the companies that pollute the Nile and the various streams can be held accountable, demanding for inclusion in the local environmental and local policies, translating the policies into local languages and create more awareness, capacity building for young women and girls in all their different diversities.
