54. Indigenous, tribal or ethnic identity, as well as migrant or disability status or sexual orientation, for example, may well compound the socioeconomic and/or physical vulnerability of some women and girls. For example: indigenous women often face multi-layered risks as they are discriminated against as environmental activists, as women and as part of an ethnic minority group; LGBTI+ persons displaced by climate change may face elevated risks of violent abuse. (See: OHCHR, 'Analytical Study on Gender-Responsive Climate Action for the Full and Effective Enjoyment of the Rights of Women').

56. Activists have specifically called upon those governments that are self-declared as 'feminist' to "address the use of corporate power of organisations headquartered in their countries, particularly in relation to extractive industries," see e.g. GAPS UK, 'Defending the Future: Gender, Conflict and Environmental Peace'.

57. It is extremely difficult for local communities to hold companies (including transnational corporations headquartered in the UK) to account for human rights abuses, as well as deforestation, releasing gases/other pollutants or acting in ways that negatively affect women and girls' livelihoods and rights. Women environmental defenders frequently face threats, particularly in contexts where they stand up to extractive projects and corporate interests on indigenous lands

76. Whilst the evaluation of the CJF evaluates the fund's projects against the pillar of "transformative justice," which suggests perhaps some sort of radical shift in economic structures, the definition of the term here is "strengthening beneficiaries' opportunities to engage in decision making and increase their negotiation powers in matters relating to climate change," and thus is more about participation, level 2 of our analytical framework.
