“Ecofeminism is a movement that sees a connection between the exploitation of nature and the oppression of women.”
What this quote means
This definition of ecofeminism by Françoise d'Eaubonne highlights an essential convergence: the exploitation of nature and the oppression of women stem from the same mentality of domination. This movement calls us to a global awareness: fighting for the planet also means fighting for gender equality, and vice versa. It is a holistic vision of justice.
