THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THESE FARMERS ARE WOMEN. FROM SOWING, WEEDING, AND FERTILIZING TO PROCESSING AND TRANSPORTING PRODUCTS, THEY PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN FEEDING MORE THAN ONE BILLION PEOPLE. WE SUPPORT NETWORKS OF WOMEN FARMERS ACROSS THE AFRICAN CONTINENT-- GROUPS OF WOMEN WHO ARE DETERMINED TO CHANGE THE WORLD AROUND THEM. IN OCTOBER 2016, ALMOST 400 OF THESE LOCAL WOMEN FROM 22 AFRICAN COUNTRIES CAME TOGETHER AT THE FOOT OF AFRICA'S TALLEST MOUNTAIN, MOUNT KILIMANJARO IN TANZANIA, TO SHARE THE STRUGGLES THAT THEY FACE AND TO CALL ON THEIR DECISION-MAKERS TO STAND UP FOR WOMEN'S LAND RIGHTS. THE WOMEN PRODUCED A CHARTER OF DEMANDS THAT THEY PRESENTED TO THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE AFRICAN UNION COMMISSION. TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THEIR DEMANDS, A GROUP OF 30 WOMEN REPRESENTING THE MILLIONS OF LOCAL WOMEN FARMERS ACROSS THE AFRICAN CONTINENT CLIMBED TO THE TOP OF MOUNT KILIMANJARO. THE WOMEN PRESENTED THEIR DEMANDS TO GLOBAL GOVERNMENTS AT THE UNITED NATIONS IN NEW YORK CITY IN 2017. 675327 508563 CLIMATE & TAX: AS THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE CONTINUE TO BE FELT BY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD, ACTIONAID IS ON THE GROUND IN COMMUNITIES WORKING ALONGSIDE LOCAL PROBLEM SOLVERS AS THEY ADAPT THEIR WORK AND LIVES TO THE CHANGING CLIMATE. THEY DON'T NEED EXPERTS TO TELL THEM THEIR CLIMATE IS CHANGING; THEY SEE AND FEEL IT EVERY DAY WHEN THEY'RE WORKING THEIR LAND OR LOOKING AFTER THEIR ANIMALS. OFTEN, THEY KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO ADAPT TO THE CHANGING CLIMATE--BUT NEED SUPPORT TO PUT IT INTO 492787 456607 WOMEN'S RIGHTS: WOMEN AROUND THE WORLD SPEND HOURS EVERY DAY COOKING, CLEANING, AND LOOKING AFTER CHILDREN. THEY ENJOY FEWER RIGHTS TO POLITICAL PARTICIPATION AND FACE MORE BARRIERS TO PAID WORK THAN BOYS AND YOUNG MEN. WHEN YOU ADD THEIR UNPAID HOURS OF WORK TO THE PAID WORK THEY ARE ALREADY PERFORMING, WOMEN ON AVERAGE WORK 4 YEARS MORE THAN MEN OVER THEIR LIFETIMES.
