“According to findings of the Chemnitz University of Technology, girls and women dominate the climate protests of the Fridays for Future movement. At the first worldwide “climate strike” on 15 March, up to 70 percent of the approximately 1.6 million participants were female. According to a statement issued by Chemnitz University of Technology on Wednesday, this is the result of a survey and questionnaire survey conducted by an international network of scientists among demonstrators in 13 cities in nine countries.
The scientists attribute the high proportion of young women and girls to predominantly female leaders such as Swedish initiator Greta Thunberg. “Previous demonstration surveys show a more balanced relationship between the sexes, with feminist demonstrations attracting mostly women and right-wing demonstrations predominantly men,” said project leader Piotr Kocyba of the Chair of Cultural and Country Studies of Eastern Central Europe at the TU Chemnitz.”
