The climate crisis isn't gender neutral

2 months ago | queensjournal.ca | Katharine Sung |Joseph Mariathasan

We cannot protect the planet without addressing gender inequality. Women and girls bear much of the brunt of the effects of climate change, intensifying existing gender disparities and posing unique threats to their wellbeing, economic security, and physical safety. Across the globe, women rely heavily on natural resources, but often lack adequate access and control over them. In many communities, they shoulder a disproportionate burden in securing essentials like food, water, and fuel.

Community in residence is yours to find

Jan 21, 2025 | queensjournal.ca | Madison Taylor |Nelson Chen

A single plus room isn’t the be all, end all of first year at Queen’s. There’s much more to it than that. After I received my acceptance letter from Queen’s, I immediately began to wonder what my first-year living situation would look like. Some quick research and a few virtual room tours led me to believe I needed to end up in a single-plus.

Jan 17, 2025 | queensjournal.ca | Madison Taylor |Nelson Chen

I was never supposed to be at Queen’s. I didn’t even apply. I was enrolled at Laurentian University in my hometown until they declared bankruptcy.
