Youth climate Activists and defenders face intimidation, harassment, criminalization, stigmatization, and violent attacks. Most disturbing perhaps are reports that the number of victims is increasing, with the intensification of the climate crisis.
In Uganda more young climate defenders are imprisoned, threatened, forced to go into hiding or flee. Many of them lack the resources, contacts, and power to mitigate attacks to protect themselves, meaning most of the attacks go unreported.
Young climate defenders are fighting to protect everyone’s future, but they cannot and should not do this alone. We must ensure their protection and It is against this backdrop that Fridays For Future Uganda established an Activists Defenders Fund to support climate defenders in their work.
