Authors

Abstract
Women play a crucial role in environmental
protection, managing family resources, and collecting water and fuel from
nature. Women's movements like India's Chipko and Kenya's Green Belt movement
have contributed significantly to environmental protection. Environmentalist
activists like, Vandana Shiva, Sunita Narraine, Sumaira Abdulali, Kinkari Devi,
Medha Patkar, and Menaka Gandhi have also contributed to environmental
protection. The 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 mandates the protection and
improvement of the natural environment. The Indian government has adopted
policies and programs that include women as decision-makers in environmental
policies, increasing women's participation and awareness.
