Nepal: Rural and indigenous women advocating for gender responsive budgeting to tackle climate catastrophe
This country briefer is based on the Climate Justice Feminist Participatory Action Research (CJ FPAR) journey of rural and indigenous women in two villages, Bhaise and Satkanya, located in the southern part of Lalitpur. Since 2019, the communities have worked together with a young woman researcher of the Women Network for Energy and Environment (WoNEE), a national women-led network aiming to engage women to strengthen their
involvement in environmental issues, including in analysing the impacts of the climate crisis. Through CJ FPAR, rural and indigenous women in Bhaise and Satkanya aimed to increase their understanding of the impacts of the climate crises and influence their local government to strengthen gender responsive budgeting for adaptation to climate change.
