  • A personalised message is guaranteed to have a bigger impact. Take some time to customise your email and include why you are passionate about this issue.
  • Here are some key points you can include:
    • Australian fossil fuel companies have been linked to serious human rights abuses overseas.
    • Women are disproportionately impacted by mining, and by the impacts of climate change - caused by fossil fuel extraction.
    • Right now, women overseas have no effective access to justice in Australia when their rights are violated by Australian companies, even though the Australian Government is obliged to provide this.
    • We need a human rights watchdog that would ensure justice for women whose rights have been violated by Australian fossil fuel companies. It needs to be independent, and have the resources and mandate to investigate and ensure real remedy for women and their communities if human rights violations have occurred.
