Deadline: November 19.
It is more important than ever that there is media representation on women’s work in climate change. That’s why we are offering a USD$100 grant for journalists looking to do a multimedia project on how women and girls are being impacted by or are responding to climate change.
Journalists and writers are expected to use the grant money to produce a 2-part multimedia project, which will be published on the Climate Tracker website.

“Women and girls are disproportionately affected by climate displacement because of already existing inequalities in society….the poorest people tend to be very, very vulnerable, and that tends to be women and girls. They might be susceptible to violence, they might be trafficked, they might end up in prostitution. They become dependent on people.”
