Gender Inequality in Engery Access : Role of Gender Stereotypes in Engery Poverty Resulting in Deterioration of Women’s Health
Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Lack of household electrification and energy access in rural areas creates energy-poverty and directly impacts the lives of rural women.Still the rural women relies on fossil fuels, kerosene lamps and firewood which create indoor air pollution, disproportionally affecting the health and physical status of the women. Social and economic development is hindered by energy poverty especially for women as they play a key role in daily household activities and providing energy resources to the families and bear most of the burden of biomass collection. Women in rural areas thus have to suffer from respiratory illness to eye damages while men only are considered to be in central framework of being the bread earners. From being the fuel managers to gathering biomass for energy, culturally driven gender norms and discrimination still exists. Thus, the objective is to identify the established links between energy access, women and gender implications and why women have to bear the consequences of unavailability of proper energy access resulting into gender-based violence.
