FEMINISM

Why is environmental justice a feminist issue, & why is feminism an environmental justice issue?

Poverty is feminized across the globe because of this womxn, are among one of groups that are most impacted by the effects of environmental hazards and injustices. This is also true for other marginalized groups of people such as people of color, disabled, trans, and intersex people, etc. around the world (DeJusticia, 2018).

“Women are at once the most adversely and disproportionally impacted by climate change and environmental injustice, and yet are indispensable leaders of just, effective and lasting solutions.

They are responsible for more than half of the world’ s food production, are responsible for 80 percent of all consumer purchases in the United States alone and currently comprise about 80 percent of global climate refugees.

As such, their intimate experiences and stories make them the most powerful untapped resource for building effective and just solutions to climate change, both in local communities and at the international level”
