We’ve been working on the project for some time now - a program to develop waste management policy and practice in and in general. We will share more updates in the next few weeks, but in the meantime, join us for a clean-up effort at Kachere! Friday, 10th September ! Centre for Environmental Policy and Advocacy Concerned Youth Organization

This , we‘re choosing to celebrate all the women out there who are committed to preserving our natural !

We spoke to Gloria Majiga-Kamoto, 2019 YALI-MWF Alumni, current Canon Collins Scholar studying for an LLM (Environmental Law), and Programmer Manager Centre for Environmental Policy and Advocacy about why working to preserve the ecosystem is so important to her! See what she has to say:

*What's the best part of being a woman environmental activist?*
Women are the most vulnerable to environmental degradation and climate shocks. Being part of the conversation on something that directly affects me and fellow women means that I can influence decisions and contribute to shaping policy on natural resource management.

*What led you to become an advocate for the environment and why do you think it is important for more women to be a part of environmental advocacy and activism?*
My passion is to make policy processes inclusive and reflective of the people they serve. Living in the Anthropocene age, where we have reached planetary boundaries, the world desperately needs leaders who can make the right choices and radicle decisions that set us on a new course of development and undo the inequalities the world seems to fail to move away from. Women need to be represented now more than ever, and we have to take up our position to be the leadership the world needs today. The future of the planet depends on us.

Let us know your thoughts! Happy International Women’s Day to all the women out there!
