The Story Of Chipko Andolan: A True Feminist Movement!

Ecofeminism is a social movement and philosophy that looks at the connections between nature and women. As a social movement that centers on the protection of nature, it is a movement led by decolonial and indigenous movements, primarily by women of colour activists. In theory, it considers how the oppression of women and the domination of nature are interlinked. Social movements such as the Chipko Andolan show that women globally have been protecting the environment for a long time

The Chipko movement highlights the power of environmental grassroots movements originating in the global South and how collective effort can create social change.

As individuals, we can actively challenge the values upheld by capitalist patriarchy such as hierarchical thinking, show reverence for nature, and supporting the liberation of all women.
