Women and Ecological Problems in Uttarakhand
Journal Title: Review Journal of Political Philosophy - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Uttarakhand is a comparatively young state within the Himalayan mountain system with a fragile ecosystem.The ecological crisis of the region has a very long history. Various developmental activities,excessive use of explosives for extension of roads and deforestation has contributed to the present state of ecological degradation. This ecological imbalance has created acute scarcity of fuelwood, fodder and water making life of hill women more difficult. The worst victim of ecological crisis are the women in the state of Uttarakhand. Cultural division of labour within the family entrusts upon the women collection of fuelwood, fodder and water fetching. Dependence on natural resources for livelihood increases work burden of already overburdened women as no able bodied men are left to help these women.This paper is an attempt to analyse how ecological problems in Uttarakhand make women’s life worse as they depend on nature to draw sustenance.
