“Clearly, it is not our biology that makes us more vulnerable to severe climatic events or the degradation and pollution of our planet. Women's vulnerability is socially constructed. By taking away rights, forcing women into poverty, piling on chores and responsibilities that take time away from education and employment, restricting attire, movement and information, women are pushed into situations where they become vulnerable.”

“Gender equality cannot be addressed independently of protecting nature. Nor can protecting nature ever by truly sustainable without addressing gender inequality. Gender equality is not a consequence of a restored planet. It is not something to be addressed after we manage to slow greenhouse gas emissions. The rights of women and the protection of nature go hand in hand with a sustainable future - they are integrally connected.”
