What is ecofeminism?
Ecofeminism is an ideology and social movement that recognizes the interconnectedness of the wellbeing of women and of the environment; the two reinforce the wellbeing, or lack thereof, of the other. The movement therefore also understands that a connection exists between the exploitation and degradation of the environment and the oppression of and lack of security for women.
"As an evolving praxis, ecofeminism grew out of many women’s interconnected sense of self identity— a deep recognition of interbeing that bridges socially constructed boundaries of class, race, species, sexuality, gender, age, ability, nation, and more— and an “entangled empathy” (Gruen 2012 ) that brings both compassion and action to the task of alleviating conditions of eco-social injustice.
