\u201cThis International women\u2019s Day-2022, aims at the theme \u201cGenderEqualityforSustainableTomorrow\u201d. Achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls in the context of climate change, environmental and disaster risk reduction policies and programs,\u201d said Ms Parinita Arora, Vice President, Mahila Pragatisheel and Rotary member .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith the latest data, we now understand the vital link between gender, social equity and climate change, and recognize that without gender equality today, a sustainable future, an equal future, remains out of reach. Women and girls experience the greatest impacts of the climate crisis as it amplifies existing gender inequalities and puts women\u2019s lives and livelihoods at risk. Across the world, women depend more on, yet have less access to, natural resources, and often bear a disproportionate responsibility for securing food, water, and fuel.\u201d Ms Arora added<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe also pray for global peace and end of conflict between Russia and Ukraine as women and children suffer the most during wars\u201d said Ms Suri. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
