About This Collection
Equal Rights for Women is a major category, like energy or climate change, of sustainability and the voices in this collection are of the present and the past.
If we don't address human rights and social justice of which the sustainability keywords and phrases include children's rights and welfare; human trafficking, slavery, and women's rights and roles, then as David Korten points out, we will not be able to come to terms with the limits of the planet and not even technology will be able to save us.

 June 10, 2025As the climate crisis escalates—driving deadly heat, rising seas, deepening inequality, and ecological collapse—we are uniting in powerful, transformative action. From June 23–28, WECAN invites you to be part of a critical global gathering, the virtual Global Women’s Assembly for Climate Justice: Path to COP30 and Beyond. Register and join us here: https://tinyurl.com/CJ-2025 The Global Women’s Assembly for Climate Justice will bring together grassroots and frontline women leaders in all their diversity, global advocates, thought leaders, and policymakers to showcase a diverse array of visions, projects, policy frameworks, campaigns, and movement strategies with which we can accelerate a bold and transformative path to a healthy and just world. This collective work is paramount as we face a growing polycrisis. While global challenges are ever-increasing, so are our power, hearts, and leadership when we gather together.
