Earth Day
April 22
Why do we celebrate Mother Earth Day on 22 April?
Mother Earth Day brings attention to the intersection of gender and environmental issues. Women often bear the greatest burdens of environmental degradation, facing challenges such as access to clean water, food security, and the impacts of climate change. Recognizing and celebrating this day helps to elevate women’s voices in environmental discussions, promotes gender equality in decision-making processes related to environmental protection, and empowers women to be leaders in sustainable development efforts.
By acknowledging the unique perspective and contributions of women, we can work towards a more just and sustainable world for all.
On Mother Earth Day, why not take a walk outside and celebrate nature? Breathe the air that connects us and listen to the birds.
