COAL Newsletter, March 2024

Let’s March forward ♀️

As we gear up for the International women’s day, we are reminded how women have shaped and inspired humanity from earliest times yet are excluded from important conversations, as we anticipate this year’s international day of women and women history month, we are proud to announce an important collaboration.

COAL and Avoidable Death Network have partnered to bring POETS FOR AVOIDABLE DEATHS #poets4AD a month long campaign aimed to promote awareness and action around avoidable disaster deaths, commemorating the international Awareness Day for Avoidable Deaths (IAD4AD)

The campaign addresses the imperative need for increased disaster risk reduction awareness and governance interventions in lower-income countries who shoulder high mortality from extreme weather, climate and seismic hazards. By empowering young poets in Africa, to take charge of their voice and agency, the campaign will spotlight the unconscionable realities around avoidable disaster deaths.

The global campaign aims to raise the visibility of indirect disaster deaths and missing persons and promote the slogan

DISASTER DEATHS ARE AVOIDABLE📣

You too can be part of this campaign and lend your voice to a worthy conversation by participating in the campaign :
