WOMEN, ENVIRONMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCACY: CHALLENGES FOR BANGLADESH
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The women’s issues in Bangladesh are considered to be a chronic problem of patriarchal society. Despite several positive policies and programs undertaken by the government and NGOs recently, the position of women in the society did not improve to a satisfactory level. Now, the relationship between women and the environment has become more explicit and apparent. As such, the article seeks to provide basic information related to women and environment and advocacy for environment and women in Bangladesh. Through an extensive review of literatures, this study attempts to shed light on the challenges of women with a view of exploring the linkages between women and environment and adverse impact that falls on women. It also emphasizes on environmental advocacy for women. The work is accomplished on the basis of secondary sources including – book reviews, newspapers, journals, research reports and other secondary materials. Implications of the past literature with regard to empower women as they interact with environmental and cultural elements.
