Taiwan

In times of great uncertainty, when first-world countries are backing out of the Paris climate deal, when women’s rights are at stake all over the world and global warming is increasing, it is important for eco-feminists to raise their voices from the grassroots level to decision-making bodies. Local feminists in countries such as Taiwan are empowering women to lead on environmental issues, from the angle of livelihood and households to addressing questions including low-carbon living, public involvement in energy transition, and building green communities. Leaders with the Women's Environment and Development Organization report on their time with the eco-feminists of Taiwan. Photo credit: HUF
