The fight for gender justice and equality has never been more crucial. As we navigate a rapidly changing world, the Center for Citizens Conserving Environment & Management (CECIC) recognizes the paramount importance of collective action to advance gender justice. Embracing this spirit, CECIC actively participated in the “Together for Gender Justice” initiative at the Women Deliver Conference in Kigali. This empowering event brought together feminist groups, rights advocates, and stakeholders from across the globe, providing an invaluable platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange.

Understanding the Urgency:

The latest UN Secretary General’s progress report on the Sustainable Development Goals revealed a worrisome trend in SDG 5 – gender equality by 2030. Progress in this area is not only slowing down but, alarmingly, it is even regressing in some instances. As the world grapples with the rise of anti-gender and anti-rights movements and confronts the ever-escalating climate crisis, achieving gender justice is becoming an urgent and complex challenge.

CECIC’s Commitment:

At CECIC, we are steadfast in our commitment to empowering individuals and communities, fostering gender equality, and championing environmental sustainability. Recognizing the critical interplay between gender justice and environmental issues, our organization is dedicated to working collaboratively with feminist groups and rights advocates to drive transformative change.

The Power of Collective Action:

The Women Deliver Conference in Kigali served as an exceptional opportunity for CECIC to contribute to the “Together for Gender Justice” initiative. The conference brought together a diverse array of stakeholders, creating a rich tapestry of perspectives and experiences. This inclusivity allowed us to gain valuable insights into the unique challenges faced by women and marginalized communities in different regions.

Knowledge Sharing and Best Practices:

During the event, CECIC actively engaged in knowledge sharing and best practice exchange. We showcased the impactful initiatives and successful partnerships established with our esteemed allies worldwide. This platform allowed us to inspire action, spark discussions, and cultivate stronger feminist alliances. Collaborative efforts like these amplify the voices of those advocating for gender justice and create a collective force for change.

Promoting Gender-Responsive Solutions:

CECIC’s participation in “Together for Gender Justice” emphasized the importance of gender-responsive solutions. Through open dialogues, workshops, and panel discussions, we explored sustainable approaches to address gender disparities and promote women’s leadership in the climate and environmental sector.

CECIC’s participation in “Together for Gender Justice” at Women Deliver in Kigali reaffirms our unwavering commitment to fostering gender equality and environmental sustainability. As we navigate the complex challenges of the 21st century, we firmly believe that collaborative initiatives and knowledge sharing are instrumental in achieving tangible advancements in gender justice. The conference provided us with renewed inspiration, strengthened alliances, and a collective vision for a more equitable and sustainable world.

By standing together and amplifying the voices of those advocating for gender justice, we are confident that transformative change is within reach. As CECIC continues its journey towards gender equality, we invite more stakeholders and partners to join us in this critical endeavor. Together, we can create a more just and inclusive world for all.
