World Environment Day 2024

On World Environment Day 2024, a group of our dedicated environmental advocates gathered in Jos, Plateau State, to raise awareness about critical issues facing our planet. The event, organized under the theme "Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience," highlighted the importance of collective action towards sustainable practices. Participants held signs with powerful messages, emphasizing the need to prevent discrimination against women and girls living with disabilities, incorporate women’s indigenous knowledge in environmental conservation, and shift towards sustainable economies that include women.

The event featured participants holding placards that read, "World Environment Day 2024: Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience," "Women’s Indigenous Knowledge is Needed to Save the Earth," "Prevent Discrimination Against Women & Girls Living with Disability," and "Shift to Sustainable Economies that Include Women." The diversity of the participants and their commitment to the cause reflected the community's shared determination to protect the environment and ensure that everyone, regardless of gender or ability, is included in the global environmental movement.

This gathering in Jos serves as a reminder of the crucial role that inclusive and diverse voices play in addressing environmental challenges. By empowering women and marginalized communities, we can create more effective and equitable solutions to safeguard our planet for future generations. The event was a testament to the enduring spirit of environmental activism in Jos and a call to action for all to contribute to a sustainable future.
