Ecofeminism
For us ecofeminism means, using an intersectional feminist approach when fighting structural barriers that prevents us from enjoying a healthy environment. Meaning, we take a holistic approach, recognising that we all come with a different baggage of discrimination (or lack thereof) depending on our gender, age, ethnicity, sexual identity, education, religion, ability or social class. These barriers, among others, include extractivism, militarism, gender-based violence and shrinking space for civil society to influence.
Intersectionality
The term was first coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw and in simple terms means that a person does not only experience the world from the perspective of patriarchy, but through an interplay of various discriminating power structures. In other words, the interplay of discrimination due to education, ethnicity, social class, sexuality, ability, age, language, race, culture, and gender determines a person’s opportunities and how they interact with society.
Womxn
You might have seen this spelling of “women” on our website. We use it in short for “women in all their diversity” to recognise that women are not one homogenous group.
