Ecofeminism is a branch of feminist theory that examines the relationship between women and the environment. It argues that there is a deep connection between the oppression of women and the degradation of the natural world, and that these two forms of oppression are both rooted in a patriarchal social system. Ecofeminism seeks to create a more just and sustainable world for both women and the environment by challenging the systems of domination that perpetuate both forms of oppression.
