MADRE advances climate justice through long-term partnerships with women- and girl-led organizations worldwide. Their aim is to promote community-led development and to organize against human rights abuses. This approach to environmental justice supports the communities most impacted by climate breakdown.
Success Story: Through mentoring and leadership training, MADRE’s partner MUIXIL resources Maya Ixil women and girls in Guatemala to defend their lands from extractive industries. Together with MADRE, MUIXIL trained 225 Ixil women and girls on political participation in Indigenous and state governance structures, equipping them with the tools to assert civic and environmental rights.
