Pourquoi la justice de genre et le démantèlement du patriarcat ?
Summary
This guide by Friends of the Earth International (ATI) argues that gender justice and the dismantling of patriarchy are essential for systemic transformation toward a sustainable and peaceful world. It defines popular and anti-capitalist feminism as a key tool for achieving equality and system change, emphasizing the intersectionality between patriarchy and other systems of oppression such as capitalism, racism, and neocolonialism.
Key insights
- Friends of the Earth International (ATI) asserts that systemic change is impossible without gender justice and the dismantling of patriarchy, as these systems of oppression work together to concentrate power through the exploitation of bodies, labor, territories, and nature.
- The document advocates for 'popular and anti-capitalist feminism,' which is described as a political tool and social movement rooted in the collective experiences of women across local, global, rural, and urban contexts, incorporating a class dimension to fight against patriarchy.
- Ecofeminist analysis reveals that the capitalist extractivist model parallels the exploitation of nature with the exploitation of women, treating women's reproductive capacities, time, and energy as infinite resources to offset capitalist crises and the privatization of nature.
- The sexual division of labor creates a hierarchy between the public sphere (associated with men, paid work, and decision-making) and the private sphere (associated with women, unpaid domestic and care work). This division facilitates capitalist accumulation by ensuring women reproduce and raise future workers.
- Patriarchy is defined as a system that exploits women's bodies and labor for the benefit of men as a social group, maintained through economic dependence, social norms, and violence used as a tool of control.
- The document emphasizes 'intersectionality,' stating that patriarchy does not operate in isolation but reinforces other systems of oppression, including capitalism, class oppression, racism, neocolonialism, and heteronormativity, to maintain the status quo.
- Neocolonialism is described as a violent process of appropriation and extraction by imperialist states and transnational corporations. This process destroys women's relationships with their territories and increases sexual violence, trafficking, and forced prostitution.
