Staff and volunteers of Greenpeace Seoul office joined the International Women’s Day march held in Gwanghwamun, Seoul, in 2019

Today is International Women\u2019s Day. Every year, fossil fuel companies exploit this day to advertise their career options for women, call out the gender gap in science and engineering, and sponsor cultural events celebrating women and gender minorities.<\/p>\n\n

As progressive as this might sound, it is nothing but public relations smoke and mirrors.<\/p>\n\n

Behind the glowing claims lurks a sobering reality: women and gender minorities are disproportionately harmed by the fossil fuel industry\u2019s corporate violence and destruction.<\/p>\n\n

We already know the fossil fuel industry is responsible for the climate crisis and its catastrophic impacts, and for the pollution of our air, water and land that makes people sick. But their business models are reportedly driving inequality and fuelling sexual and physical violence against women and gender minorities.<\/p>\n\n
