Around the world women and girls are abused, trafficked and killed.

Climate reparations are a chance to change that, giving many women and girls significant savings accounts that they can use to get away from their abusers – money that they can use to ensure any children they might have one day become truly free. 

Funding every child’s right to a fair start in life – over competing  rights – is the most just and effective solution to the many crises we face today. It has an exponentially greater impact than most other interventions, many of which are being undone as children enter the world without the things they need.

Ask anyone claiming to do good in the world how children being born without what they need undid the claimed benefit. Current policies have increased overall child abuse and neglect – including child torture and death, undone most of the efforts to mitigate climate change, degraded democracy and increased racial and other deadly inequities.

No child should ever be born outside a structure of debt/savings accounts that protect all children from the climate crisis by including and empowering them with their universal birthright.

Our obligations to fund that accounting come before anything we do because it ensures fundamental justice; it creates the inclusive and empowering “we.” Without this we can’t choose who has influence, and control, over us. We can’t be free.

TAKE ACTIONS: 1) Donate here to enable Fair Start to change family systems,  2) sign here to say you think Fair Start overrides barriers – like claims to wealth that could instead be used to protect women, and 3) urge any charity you support – regardless of the issue – to admit not prioritizing funding for young women fair starts in life for all kids did more harm to their missions than they did good.
