Ecofeminisms for the future
#LaVidaenelCentro
Ecofeminisms show the way to project a world with a future. Its different currents, contributions, and debates show us that human beings are interdependent and ecodependent. We need one another to live, we are part of nature and we depend on it. Furthermore, the major contribution made by this perspective is that it calls into question heteropatriarchal capitalist domination as part of a matrix that loots, exploits, and commodifies people and territories. At the same time, it recognizes the central role of grassroots, peasant, and racialized women and feminized subjects in defence of the communitarian and territories against capital’s advance. Despite different contexts, peoples around the world resist the attacks of extractivist companies, states, and transnationalized capital, for the fundamental reason that those attacks are taking their lives. Grassroots feminisms add another layer to that struggle, contributing tools for understanding the capitalist, patriarchal, colonial framework that enables the looting. This also explains why the sexual division of labour places women and feminized subjects in a central place in defending the commons.
Here we share materials to learn about experiences in different regions of the world, as well as to learn more about the debates raised by ecological movements and people’s struggles pointing to the ecological and civilizational crisis. In opposition to the myth of unlimited progress, communities, and especially the women and sexual dissidents within them, demonstrate the path of resistance and the construction of alternatives with bodily and territorial sovereignty.
