Can women save the planet?

Les procès du siècle - Feminism, gender, minorities

  • Debate-
  • Meeting

With Lauren Bastide (journalist, essayist) and Alexandra Palt (lawyer, Executive Director of Corporate Social Responsibility for the L'Oréal group and Executive Director of the L'Oréal Foundation)
Moderator: Paloma Moritz
With the participation of Raphaël Bories, curator of heritage, head of the Religions and Beliefs department at Mucem.

Eco-feminist thinking considers that there are similarities between systems of domination of women by men and systems of over-exploitation of nature by humans. Having emerged in the 1970s, this way of thinking is now enjoying renewed vigour in the context of the ecological emergency.

Who are today’s eco-feminists? What are their demands and the tools they propose for building a desirable future? How can feminist thinking respond to the urgent issues of our time? Can women really save the planet?
