Climate Change: It is high time FBOs start representing women's interests
Written by Ticha Tsedu | 14 December 11
As world leaders and media descended upon Durban, civil society organisations were making their voices heard in the call for climate justice. Faith Based Organisations (FBOs) occupy a unique position as the moral and ethical backbone of society. This role has become increasingly prominent in the wake of global warming and climate change.
FBOs have a huge following, reach and moral sway not least among women who form a significant proportion of congregations, and bear the major brunt of climate catastrophes. While FBO's lead the call for climate justice, however, they remain steeped in patriarchal cultures and practices.
