#DecolonialFeminism šŸŒšŸŒ± This #EarthDay, April 22nd, we say loud and clear: Destroy the Patriarchy, Not the Planet!


šŸ¤” Ever wondered how the exploitation of women fuels the exploitation of nature?


😤 You guessed it — the violent trio of Colonization, Patriarchy, and CapitalismĀ are at the root of it all: the exploitation of women, the destruction of nature, and the crisis we face today.


šŸ¤‘ Patriarchy is the backbone of capitalism. By relegating women to unpaid domestic work, by pressuring them to supply future labor forces, and by exploiting women workers, patriarchy props up a system that thrives on endless growth and extraction — from people and from nature.


ā˜¢ļø This insatiable drive for ā€œmoreā€ has led us straight into the triple planetary crisis: climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.


āŒ Colonization stole the Earth’s rivers. Capitalism scarred her forests. Patriarchy silenced her people.


✊ We cannot protect nature without dismantling the oppressive capitalist system — and its pillar: patriarchy!


šŸŒ All women suffer under patriarchy and bear the brunt of the planetary crisis — but those in the Global Majority are impacted the most.


šŸ«‚ As Decolonial and Intersectional Feminists from the Global South, we at Manushya Foundation know this truth deep in our bones: the Earth cannot heal while her people are still oppressed.


We champion a Decolonial Feminism that confronts the violence of colonization and imperialism — a feminism that fights racism, classism, homophobia, and ableism alongside patriarchy.


šŸŒšŸŒæ On this Earth Day, we rise together, because climate justice is social justice — and the liberation of our planet is bound to the liberation of all its peoples.


✊ Together, let’s rise for climate justice and social justice — two struggles that are inseparable.
