Gender Based Environmental Justice
Abstract
Increasing environmental pollution is causing a widespread negative impact. Therefore, a solution is needed to overcome the increasing environmental problems. One approach is to consider the question of justice for the environment itself. This approach is founded on the perceived relationship between the environment of activism and caring with distributive justice. Decision making processes with regards to environmental justice are frequently determined by the gender differences of the individual. Perceptions between women and men can be different in interpreting environmental conditions. Women can be more sensitive in protecting the environment, while men are more logical. This article will discuss gender-based environmental justice to consider whether there is ‘correct’ perspective. This study uses a qualitative approach, reviewing and synthesizing journals related to Environmental Justice and Gender. As the fifth goal of sustainable development (SDGs), gender equality can increase the successful implementation of the principles of environmental justice.
