Ms. Bahous, and other speakers emphasized that it is exactly because of the added burdens women bear from the impacts of climate change, that they are essential in leading climate action in their communities and across the world.
Naked Women From Africa
Little is known about the background of commercial sex workers in Africa. This study investigated how women in a trading town on the trans-Africa highway in southwest Uganda become involved in commercial sex work, which factors contribute to their economic success or lack of success, and what effect life trajectories and economic success have on negotiating power and risk behaviour. Over the course of two years detailed life histories of 34 women were collected through recording open, in-depth interviews, the collection of sexual and income and expenditure diaries, visits to the women's native villages, and participant observation. The women share similar disadvantaged backgrounds and this has played a role in their move into commercial sex. They have divergent experiences, however, in their utilisation of opportunities and in the level of success they achieve. They have developed different life styles and a variety of ways of dealing with sexual relationships. Three groups of women were identified: (1) women who work in the back-street bars, have no capital of their own and are almost entirely dependent on selling sex for their livelihood; (2) waitresses in the bars along the main road who engage in a more institutionalised kind of commercial sex, often mediated by middlemen and (3) the more successful entrepreneurs who earn money from their own bars as well as from commercial sex. The three groups had different risk profiles. Due partly to their financial independence from men, women in the latter group have taken control of sexual relationships and can negotiate good sexual deals for themselves, both financially and in terms of safe sex. The poorer women were more vulnerable and less able to negotiate safer sex. A disadvantaged background and restricted access to economic resources are the major reasons for women gravitating to commercial sex work. Various aspects of personality play a role in utilising income from commercial sex to set up an economic basis that then makes the selling of sex unnecessary. This has implications for interventions, and part of the longer-term solution should lie in improving the economic position of women vis-à-vis men.
Naminata Diabate's Naked Agency engages the performance of the gesture of female naked protest in Africa. Diabate troubles what she sees as the triumphant accounts of women defiantly disrobing--what she calls "the romanticization framework"--that uncritically celebrates female genital cursing. What distinguishes this book is that while most of the extant literature on female naked protest in Africa often celebratorily focuses on the women, or at most their targets, Naked Agency argues that a thorough analysis of these events must also consider the agency and reaction of the women's targets, witnesses, bystanders, and other stakeholders. But even when the focus is on the women, the author challenges the romanticization framework that occludes the women's fear, desperation, vulnerabilities, backlash, physical harm, or even internal dissent. The romanticization framework, she contends, assigns a fixed meaning to a gesture that is unstable, temporary, contested, and negotiated. It also suggests a uniform agentic response from the women, which she finds problematic. Naked Agency, thus, offers a nuanced perspective on insurrectional nakedness that locates agency with vulnerability, accounting for both "the constraints and freedoms that produce, enhance, or curtail the power effects of women's insurgent self-exposure" (15).

In northern Uganda in 2012, the Uganda Wildlife Authority guards evicted 6,000 people from their homes in Apaa in Amuru District, to assist the Madhvani Group, a Ugandan conglomerate that wanted to establish a sugar cane plantation and factory on the land. Residents protested these evictions and 82 demonstrators were injured in one protest in 2015. In response to these provocations, Acholi women from Apaa launched their own protest that same year, undressing in front of two male government ministers who had come to calm the population and assure them that no one would be evicted. The naked protests continued into 2017 when a female minister of lands, Betty Amongi, visited Amuru.
Most of the people that live in the southern Volta Region of Ghana, southern Togo, and southern Benin believe and practice the Trokosi system. I was involved in the liberation campaign of the Trokosis in the 1990s, and by 2002, 4,000 women and children from 52 shrines were liberated.

American Jordan Hasay, who finished third among the women, was the lone exception.
