Abstract

Risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impact young people already occupying challenging circumstances, including young women and girls experiencing gender discrimination, exploitation and economic exclusion. Nevertheless, young women and girls are among the most active in shaping local/global responses. Through an intersectional approach that critically explores child and youth civil and political rights, this paper analyzes climate change activism led by young women and girls during COVID-19, as well as the intersectional complexities that impact the activism that they engage in and carry out. We argue that despite the negative impacts of the pandemic, young women and girls have opened new participatory spaces to positively shape our environment, while also navigating and defying gendered barriers, both in the present and for future generations.
危机竞争时期的抗争与坚持:2019冠状病毒病期间青年妇女和女童气候行动的交叉分析
与2019冠状病毒病大流行相关的风险对已经处境艰难的年轻人的影响尤为严重,包括遭受性别歧视、剥削和经济排斥的年轻妇女和女孩。然而,年轻妇女和女孩在形成地方/全球应对措施方面是最积极的。本文通过批判性地探讨儿童和青年公民权利和政治权利的交叉方法,分析了2019冠状病毒病期间由年轻妇女和女孩领导的气候变化行动,以及影响她们参与和开展的行动的交叉复杂性。我们认为,尽管这一大流行病产生了负面影响,但青年妇女和女孩开辟了新的参与性空间,积极塑造我们的环境,同时也为今世后代克服和克服性别障碍。
