Gender and Environmental Justice

Gender and Environmental Justice explore how environmental issues uniquely impact different genders, often revealing inequalities. For example, women and marginalized genders may face greater health risks from pollution or have less access to resources like clean water and land for farming. This field stresses that environmental solutions should consider these disparities to ensure fair treatment for all. Addressing gendered experiences helps create more inclusive policies, acknowledging that social and ecological issues are interconnected. Overall, it promotes equity by recognizing and correcting how environmental harm often disproportionately affects certain gender groups.
