Pacific Island Feminists launch film at AWID Forum

"Bodies, Mud & Air - Pacific Feminists Defending the Living Planet" was launched on December 3 at #AWID2024! It follows the work of #FijiWomen in the DIVA for Equality network.

This is a story of persistent and principled feminist analysis, prevention and response, mobilisation, organising, advocacy, andmovement-building seen through the work of DIVA for Equality’s Poverty to Power, Agroecology, Gender and LBQ human rights, Climate Justice and Disaster Risk Reduction local grassroots networks in rural and maritime Fiji.

Through personal and political narratives, the film reveals how Pacific Island feminists are working together in defence of ourselves, other species, and the living planet: 

“As all of these things are happening, we’ve got to tell our own story. The most important is that we just don’t hear the urgency when we’re dealing with issues of climate change and ecological justice and that’s a worry – people still don’t understand this is about you as well, not just us in the Pacific” – Noelene Nabulivou, Executive Director, DIVA for Equality – Fiji

‘Bodies, Mud and Air -Pacific Feminists Defending the Living Planet’ is produced with assistance from the Pacific Island Feminist Alliance for Climate Justice.
