Project Dandelion
Women of the Earth is organised in partnership with Project Dandelion, co-founded by Pat Mitchell and Mary Robinson. At the closing drinks on 7 November, Pat Mitchell will pin a dandelion on every woman who wishes to become a Dandelion.
A letter from Mary Robinson
“The people that do the least to cause it are suffering the most, especially women and girls.”
“Divided we will fail. United we can build a climate safe future for all.”
“Every movement needs a symbol. We are Dandelions for a reason.”
“When woman leads action follows. I hope you will join us.”
Mary Robinson · Former President of Ireland · Co-Founder, Project Dandelion
Why the dandelion
The dandelion grows almost anywhere. Its deep roots regenerate the soil, every part of it nourishes, and the wind carries its seeds far beyond where they began, until new dandelions take root.
Project Dandelion sees the climate justice movement the same way: women leading in their own communities, connected to one another, spreading hope and action around the world. Its aim is to reach two billion people.
