26 min - Eco-feminism: How Human and Environmental Rights Are Interconnected. Interview with Mirishahe Syla from Kosovo Center for Counseling, Social Services, and Research
In today's episode, together with Mirishahe Syla, we take the concepts of feminism, gender equality, and environmental justice and discuss their numerous facets and inevitable interconnection. Born out the same faulty system, social and environmental injustice are causing toxic hierarchization, inequality, and unjustified superiority, whether in our relationship with each other or with nature. Mirishahe sheds light on the way that a patriarchal Kosovo shaped her interest in gender inequality and her contributions to raising awareness of these issues in a young and changing country. We further discuss the interesting lens of ecofeminism, how it's perceived by society at large, and what strategies we can use to help people see the world through a more sustainable perspective.
