“The earth is being destroyed by the same forces that oppress women.”
What this quote means
Françoise d'Eaubonne makes a bold connection between the destruction of the planet and the oppression of women. She suggests that the systems of domination – capitalism, patriarchy, exploitation of resources – are the same. This ecofeminist perspective invites us to rethink our relationship with nature and women, not as separate entities, but as victims of the same destructive logic of power.
How to apply it daily
Support local initiatives that combine ecology and women's rights, such as reforestation projects led by women, and raise awareness about this connection in your circle.
