Indian Eco-feminism

Indian eco-feminism is a perspective that combines ecological concerns with feminist ideals, highlighting the connection between the oppression of women and environmental degradation in India. It emphasizes that both women and nature are often exploited by patriarchal systems and capitalism. Eco-feminists advocate for sustainable practices, recognizing women's vital role in environmental conservation and management. They believe that empowering women is essential for achieving ecological sustainability, as women often possess traditional knowledge about local ecosystems. This movement seeks to create a more just and equitable society that respects both women's rights and the environment.
