On the occasion of international women’s day. I
would love to take one step further to emphasize the role of women with
environment. Most of us don’t tend to recognise or relate their ultimate
contribution to protect environment. Here are few highlights along with the
degradation of environment that affect women.
Women have been closely associated with nature.
From modern society to vedic, era’s task of a women have been changing. I would
rather not just define them as multi-tasking modes of the society but the great
contributors to nature. Yes women are interconnected because of their social
and economic roles. They have a vital role of managing the resources. Women
have vital role to play in environment as they are the victims of degradation.
So ask for better environment because you’re affected.
Did you ever think how the role of women is associated
with environment?
A woman is not just associated family, friends and
various other roles. If the role of a women is associated with environment it
would not be wrong. Here is some major role played by women:
Women play major role in kitchen on regular basis.
They just don't tend to cook but also play a vital role for the segregation of
waste. The waste management concept isn’t new to them. From decades and so the
household waste is managed to feed them for animals and for plants. (especially
among the rural Indian's).
Speaking about the women in cities they segregate
waste and sell infact the major task of recycling credits goes to women. They
are active and logic care takers of the environment, for ex plastic covers is
collected to recycled not can not just fetch money but help protect the
environment. Consider the use of rain water. Women play a major role by saving
these fresh water and use them o domestic requirements. Women have vital role
to play in environment because they are the victims of degradation. These are
just very few examples.
Apart from this they also wok hard to gather to get
their means from the environment. That would be the best reasons for us to be
more protective towards the nature.So its time for us to ask for better
environment because we’re affected. But unfortunately today these protectors
and contributors of the nature. Are affected at the cost of their life.
So how women is affected at present.
Five aspects that women enjoy her daily activities
with environment
Have you ever felt the bliss of the farmland
playing around with them every step you walk. The step of walking alone
wondering to get fetch the daily needs. The back bone contributor to farmers.
Farmers might just thing of finishing the work but Women enjoys every glimpse
of the farm land.
Women wont just enjoy the drip drops of the rain
water. She would enjoy every single droplets present on leafs and the fall of
the water, yet she enjoys walking miles to fetch water. Making sure that water
is used adequately is yet another concern and role played by women.
They enjoy the bliss of the nature's
availability.And make a sustainable use of their presence. Most of the women
enjoy planting trees, gardening and explore the essence of the nature.
They make memories in every single way possible from
the drip drop rain to flowing water to fetching firewoods to the long drive
towards the weeping grasslands and farmlands. They enjoy their activities
by making them the companions to beak their loneliness.
They gloom their face like the buds to rise along.
The shinning glimpse of the sun make their day out. The singing of sunset for
the make them rest their work with pleasant feelings.
Glaming up their day with environment makes them
the strong and dedicated individuals. Nature is a bliss and gift for their
daily stressed out woks. Soon all these will vanish in one time.
Effects of environmental degradation on Women?
Women are the suffers for the degradation. Majority
of women are involved in household actives.Scarcity of water has led towards
unhygienic and debauched health. Women are walking miles to fetch water. A pot
of water for a day’s activity. Lack of drinking water has led them to
unhealthy cooking habits. Use of chemicals, genetically modified foods are
reducing the nutritious components. That affects women during
pregnancy.
Increase of infant mortality, maternal mortality
degradation for an extent is a cause. Environment today isn’t used for needs
but for wants.
Women’s body is different from men. Their organs
play vital role compared to men. They carry natural body fats. Harmful
Chemicals and containments present in the environment, stay in the body known
as body burden. This is tested through urine, blood and breast milk. Harm can
be done to children as it enters mother’s body and passes through breast
milk.
The effects of pesticides and plastics are linked
to women’s health and passed on to children. Consider the effect of endosulfer.
Growing diseases have been linked to environment degradation. Be it cancer,
urinal infections, breast cancer, fertility challenges etc. Are connected to
Contaminants found in the environment that directly gets into women’s body.
These facts seem freighting but vital role to
protect environment and sustainability are in the hands of very individual. Women
have been contributing factor for environment. Majority with their daily
activities. Environment degradation can quash both women and nature equally.
On this recognised day of celebrating women’s day. Let’s all
make a difference by protecting them from all the happenings. Every single
pledge can make a great difference.
