Ecofeminism

Ecofeminism is a philosophical approach that links feminism with environmentalism, arguing that the oppression of women and the degradation of the environment are interconnected issues rooted in patriarchal society. It critiques how both women and nature are often exploited and controlled. By promoting the idea that both gender equality and environmental justice are essential for a sustainable future, ecofeminists aim to create a more equitable world where both human rights and ecological health are prioritized. This perspective influences feminist ethics, environmental ethics, and political theory by highlighting the importance of relationships, care, and interdependence in both social and ecological contexts.
