Prof. Dr. Christine Bauhardt at Verlag Barbara Budrich - Handbook Politik und Geschlecht: Feministische Politische Ökologie, Ressourcenpolitik und Queer Ecologies

The gender binary and the socially and culturally constructed gender hierarchy justify the parallelization of the exploitation of natural resources and the ReProductivity of women. "Resource policy" calls for an end to the appropriation of women's labour and their environmental knowledge and for their inclusion in environmental policy decisions. Queer ecologies make it possible to free care responsibility from its ties to quasi-natural re-production relations and to politicize it. Read the publication (German).

The women's environmental movements of the 1970s and 1980s in West Germany criticized the domination of nature and the control of women's bodies as a patriarchal project of domination. However, the term 'ecofeminism' to analyze the destruction of the environment and life is controversial among activists. Read about it in the Digital German Women's Archive (German).



Article publication - Ecofeminist perspectives on the socio-ecological transformation of the Green New Deal

The "European Green Deal" and similar (infrastructure) investment-oriented policies aim to achieve green growth. However, they do not take into account the necessities of social reproduction. This, however, would be a prerequisite for a policy that puts people's needs first. Link to download by clicking on the headline.
