Екофеминизам као начин решавања неких еколошких питања
Ecofeminism as a Way of Resolving Some Environmental Issues

Summary/Abstract: Women and nature are connected in many different ways: with their biological status, reproductive role, discrimination. That is why ecofeminism stands for one of the main theoretical, philosophical and even practical ways of resolving the environmental problems. The representatives of this thinking find that changing positions and behaviors by leaving the patriarchal approach to everything – to the women and to the nature, can stop the degradation of the environment.Demographic significance of the women’s role, in context of environmental changes, was represented by some feminist movements, as Chipko movement in India, Green Belt movement in Kenya, Love Canal in State of New York, etc. In this paper, the author gives a short overview of connections between women and nature, and proposes some new solutions.
