Happy World Water Day! This year's theme, 'Water for peace' emphasises the importance of working together to balance the needs of people and the planet, and to ensure that no one is left behind in access to clean #water and #sanitation, so that water is a catalyst for a more peaceful future. 💧 🕊️ For women and girls, people with disabilities, and other marginalised groups, water insecurity exacerbates inequities and disproportionately impacts their health and well-being. Water conflict also increases the risk of violence. Throughout the world, women are at the frontlines of climate change and it's impacts on water. With primary responsibility for meeting caregiving and household water needs, including for sanitation and #hygiene, women are water experts in their communities. Women and water can lead us out of this crisis — but women cannot do it alone. As climate change impacts increase, and populations grow, we must unite to advance gender equality and accelerate progress on #SDG6 - Water and sanitation for all. Everyone has a role to play in creating a fairer and more cohesive society. Throughout #Asia and the #Pacific, Water for Women partners are working with communities across all levels to deliver climate-resilient and inclusive water and #WASH services for all. Together, we are committed to accelerating progress for a more equitable, water secure and peaceful future. 👀 Watch our World Water Day video - Water at the Centre: https://lnkd.in/gBCzgaVe 👉 Explore our Postcards from the Field: https://wfw.fund/WWD2024 Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade | Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water | #WorldWaterDay | #WWD2024 | #WaterForPeace | #WASH | #GEDSI | #SDG5

What a completely brilliant way to celebrate IWD with Women's Environmental Leadership Australia. Every time I leave a discussion or event with the brilliant people involved in WELA I feel lighter, more supported and part of an incredible network of change makers who are making the world a better place. It's the best feeling. I am sure this webinar will be the same Get. On. It! While you're at it - consider joining the Giving Circle to help save the planet https://lnkd.in/gN3CxVip A great way to invest in real change for IWD rather than purple cupcakes! Women and gender-diverse people are leading much of the change we need in our world BUT did you know that... Women-led projects are chronically underfunded with less than 0.2% of global charitable funding going to women’s environmental action. WELA is changing that. You can help!

🌍 Raising Awareness: The First Step Towards Change 🌍 Today, I want to talk about the power of awareness in driving the changes we want to see in the world. Awareness isn't just about acquiring knowledge; it's about sparking action. It is the first critical step in addressing the myriad challenges we face—from climate change and environmental degradation to social inequality and beyond. 🔍 Why Focus on Awareness? a) Informed Decisions: Understanding the issues leads to better decision-making at both individual and collective levels. b) Empowered Advocacy: With knowledge comes the power to advocate for meaningful changes in policies and practices. c) Community Engagement: Awareness fosters a sense of community and collective responsibility, which are crucial for sustainable change. 🌱 Take Action: i) Educate Yourself and Others: Stay informed about the issues affecting our world. Share articles, posts, and talks. ii) Participate in Community Efforts: Join local or online groups focused on environmental conservation and social justice. iii) Advocate for Change: Use your voice and platform to push for actions that make a real difference. Every action starts with awareness. By spreading knowledge and engaging in informed discussions, we can all contribute to a healthier, more equitable world. Let's encourage each other to learn, share, and act. What issue are you most passionate about raising awareness for?
