Thanks for the nudge Sandra! I'm not convinced that eating
(and using) "cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens" is unrelated to
women's issues, but ECOFEM has covered the topic a number of times.
Any "new" angles--OR how about challenging ourselves further and
being more explicit about the inter-connections with and
consequences for "women's issues"? (Umm, does anyone want to suggest
what "women's issues" are, could be?) Also Sandra (and other
ECOFEMers), what are some of the other topics which you'd like to
discuss?
My suggestions:
** Cross-cultural challenges of "development projects" and their
(non)inclusion of women;
** Is "ecofeminism" just another white, western/european
colonisation project? ;
** How do women's health issues and "ecofeminism" intermingle?
Any takers???
