Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The process of development in Uttarakhand over the years have neglected both ecology and women of the hilly region. The women of Uttarakhand play an important role in various activities relating to natural resources and consequent degradation of ecology and environment has adverse effect on these women’s lives.These rural women depend on the forest and other natural resources for their sustenance and livelihood.The degradation of environment /ecology adversely affects the lives of poor peasant women of Uttarakhand. Therefore,it can be inferred that ‘environmental issues and women’s issues are inseparable’.The close association between women and natural resources makes them better managers of natural resources and responsible for their actions regarding ecological consequences.
