Women Leaders in Koraput Engage on Climate, Gender, and Commons

On June 26, Asar, in collaboration with Step Ahead, held an online orientation with 10 women leaders from Koraput, Odisha, marking the start of our work on Gender, Climate, and Commons.

The session explored how indigenous women perceive climate change within their local realities. Discussions centered on the role of commons, women’s contributions to climate resilience, and the importance of regional vocabularies to better communicate climate issues.

This dialogue laid the groundwork for a community-led approach to climate action rooted in local knowledge and leadership.
