Climate justice is not only about saving the planet. It is about who gets to live in it with dignity.
As organizações vencedoras deste ano, Instituto Mãe Lalu (IMLA) e Otros Dreams en Acción (ODA), respondem a desafios distintos em seus contextos locais. Ainda assim, ambas compartilham a mesma convicção: mudanças duradouras acontecem quando as comunidades lideram os processos e quando as vozes de crianças, jovens e das pessoas mais diretamente afetadas são colocadas no centro das soluções.
Education, Safety and wellbeing
This year’s winners, Instituto Mãe Lalu (IMLA) and Otros Dreams en Acción (ODA), are responding to distinct challenges in their communities, yet both are grounded in the same belief that lasting change is built when communities lead and when the voices of children, young people, and those most affected are placed at the center of solutions.
Gender justice
At GFC, we do not use the term “toxic masculinity” to describe our work with boys and young men. Instead, we focus on healthy masculinities, agency, and systems change as part of broader gender justice work. This blog explores why language matters in global development and how framing shapes impact. Through GFC partner examples, we highlight approaches that support boys and young men as part of the solution, fostering reflection, dignity, and positive ways of being.

This Women’s Month, I asked my colleagues at Global Fund for Children to share books, films, and stories about women that stayed with them long after they experienced them. The recommendations they shared are a celebration of compassion, belonging, resilience, identity, and the many ways women show up for themselves and for others. I hope you enjoy exploring them, and that they inspire you as much as they inspired me.

"GFC’s Spark Fund gave me stability. It gave me community. It gave me the confidence to act without fear of uncertainty. Today, I am not trying to change society in one sweeping gesture. I am helping children step lightly into the world with curiosity, care, and courage about climate. And that, I believe, is how change truly begins."
