Many of us are aware of the adverse effects of climate change and how it is taking a toll on people’s lives. However, there is a glimmer of hope. A group of women has banded together as Warrior Moms to fight against air pollution and improve the world for their children to live and breathe in.

The "Warrior Moms" program has started several awareness efforts, from bringing attention to the dangers of firecrackers to discussing the negative consequences of thermal power plants. 

They started a campaign to deal with fireworks wherein it was conveyed that each "phooljhari" is equivalent to about 74 cigarettes and no mother would give that much to their child. Many of them included clever one-liners to convey a crucial point and were shared on the group's social media website. 'Ab Ki Baar Saaf Tyohaar' was their hashtag.

Another campaign is about thermal power plants. The group has asked the Government to make sure that all the power plants adhere to environmental guidelines. However, the reality is often different. They filed a letter bearing the signatures of well-known personalities like Dia Mirza, Kiran Bedi, etc.

Bhavreen Kandhari, one of the core members, represented the group at the COP 26 Climate Change Conference in Glasgow last year. The "Warrior Moms" also work with women who live in rural areas. The group has teamed together with several self-help organizations to spread awareness about environmental degradation.

Believing that the word "mom" evokes a variety of emotions, the group is accessible to anybody who wishes to contribute in some way to a better future for the next generation.
