Safety and Self-Protection Plan for Environmental Defenders

Women environmental defenders are often criminalized and victims of violence, because with their struggles and strong leadership they not only confront capital and interests of extractive companies, but they also break into public spheres (streets, social networks, roads, etc.) breaking traditional gender roles.

From the Environmental Defenders Program, we made a series of short videos on Security and Self-Protection Plans that contribute to processes of effective climate participation through advocacy and transformation to make Environmental Justice effective, ensuring the safety of those who put their bodies on the line.
