Ecofeminism: A Synthesis of Feminism and Ecological Discourse

The intersection of gender, environment, and sustainable development is a crucial area of study. Gender roles and responsibilities significantly influence environmental behaviours and outcomes. Women worldwide participate in environmental protection; however, their contributions are often overlooked. The importance of women’s efforts to achieve sustainable development must be highlighted for it to be a goal of the global community. Involving women in environmental conservation would cultivate a social sense of responsibility, which is crucial for achieving a sustainable balance between humankind and the planet’s resources. Ecofeminism has emerged as a contemporary perspective on environmental and ecological issues via a gender lens. Ecofeminism boasts a distinguished history in its prominence and its recognised importance in articulating the connection between gender and nature, while also promoting initiatives aimed at tackling current environmental issues. This paper seeks to examine the relationship between ecofeminism and ecological discourse. The paper is based on an analysis of secondary data sourced from published and verified materials.
