Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
In Kumaon,women’s everyday lives have been adversely affected at micro and macro level by capitalist transformation. Capitalist-patriarchal mode of development at macro (forest and ecosystem) and at micro (village community)level has destroyed the rich and varied biodiversity of the region. Destruction of diversity and creation of monoculture has increased the workload of rural women and adversely affected their health and nutritional status. The capitalist-transformation and introduction of cash economy have made the situation worse by destroying the subsistence economy creating a threat to livelihood. The destruction of forest and grazing land, unsustainability of common property resources and change in land use have reduced the productivity of land. This has affected women nigatively by increasing their daily work burden with reduced nutritional intake as market economy has drastically changed the cropping pattern. The marginalisation of women and the destruction of biodiversity (ecology)are twin process.This paper is an attempt to analysehow this twin process of capitalist transformation and ecological destruction has affected rural women’s health and nutritional status in socialist-feminist perspective.
