Ecowomanism is a lens that foregrounds the voices of Earth, as well as the herstories of women of African descent and their communities, centering their perspectives and contributions to the environmental justice movement.
This multifaceted platform offers resources to individuals, organizations, and communities for grounding in climate action and environmental justice from an ecowomanist foundation. Our mission is to inspire holistic change by centering the voices and leadership of historically marginalized groups in the fight against environmental degradation and climate injustice.
