Women’s attitude towards environment sustainability through natural preservation

Abstract

Women could have played a significant part in the process of Sustainable Development, although they were not given an opportunity to directly involve in this process in different cultures. Their roles are mainly subjected to perform household works, such as caring for children and elderly members. However, these familial responsibilities of women develop a positive attitude and potential skills to maintain sustainable development by preserving natural resources. This paper induces a brief description of the term Sustainable Development. Furthermore, it would suggest an environmentally sound model for achieving the objectives of sustainable development by incorporating eco-feminist ideas as its fundamental elements. Eco-feminism highlights the inter-connectedness of women with the environment and it claims that women’s active participation is globally required nowadays for achieving sustainability.
