Climate justice is inseparable from social justice. Extractive industries, like Enbridge’s Line 3 pipeline, pose not only a threat to our land and resources but also to the safety and well-being of our people.
Large construction projects, such as Line 3, come with a dark side: The camps of workers, known as “man camps,” have been linked to increased rates of sexual violence, murder, and disappearances of Indigenous women. This not only makes pipelines an intersectional issue, impacting Indigenous communities more than any other group, but it also perpetuates gendered violence, disproportionately affecting Indigenous women.
