A confluence of gender-based inequalities, biases, and societal norms dictating traditional gender roles leads to a unique impact of environmental factors on gen-der relations and vice versa. Recognising and addressing the connection between gender and the environment could promote policy alignment and facilitate com-prehensive and inclusive sustainable development strategies. Ecofeminism, as a critical framework that links the issues of environmental degradation with gender oppression, also offers a distinct perspective on the complex nature of law and propose improvements to environmental legal approaches.
UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 5, which focuses on achieving gender parity and empowering every woman and girl, is crucial for this study. Through a thorough review of existing literature and case studies, along with a critical analysis of relevant legal frameworks, this paper seeks to reveal how addressing the interconnected challenges of gender disparities and environmental concerns can support the pursuit and achievement of SDGs through legislative measures.
