Eco-Feminism and Climate: The Impact on Women and Girls
“Toxic masculinity is a huge problem and discourages men from taking action for fear of being seen as gay. The extractive element of capitalism and the patriarchy harms both women and the earth, and it's impossible for us as women to live peacefully within that structure.”
Ever thought about how climate change affects women differently? In this eye-opening episode of 'Force of Nature', Clover Hogan sits down with Nergiz De Baere, the force behind ChicksforClimate, to explore eco-feminism and the unique challenges faced by women and girls in the climate crisis. They dive into why women often bear the brunt of environmental issues and how gender inequality exacerbates these effects.
With insights from young voices and the expertise of psychotherapist Caroline Hickman, this episode sheds light on how embracing our inner strength can be a game-changer in sustainability efforts. Plus, hear from Firdaous El Honsali of Dove about corporate roles in amplifying women's voices. If you're curious about the intersection of feminism and environmentalism, and how to tackle eco-anxiety, this episode is a must-listen.
