Women 🤝 Resistance 🤝 Earth: A Thread — Mov

Women 🤝 Resistance 🤝 Earth: A Thread — Movements in South Asia:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1: The Chipko Movement was a nonviolent social and ecological movement by rural villagers, particularly women, aimed at protecting trees and forests slated for government-backed logging. // Uttar Pradesh, India 1970s. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2: The Warli Adivasi Revolt started out as a fight against bonded labor and went on to become a fight for wages for work, land ownership, and forest rights for India’s indigenous Warli community. Pictured is Godavari Parulekar a freedom fighter for farmers and the working class, who helped lead the revolt. // Maharashtra, India, 1945. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
3: The Tebhaga Movement began against feudal exploitation. At the time, peasants had to give half of their harvest to the land-owners; the movement began with a demand that the land-owner will be given one-third (tebhaga) of the total harvest. Notably, landless + poor peasant women formed fighting troops called nari bahini and took a front rank role in defending the gains of the movement and in countering the repression of the state & feudal-patriarchy. // Bengal, 1946. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
4: Women in Punjab en route to Delhi to protest the Farm Laws, where the role of women has been critical. History continues to be in the making. Image by @twoblacksquares. // India, 2020-21. ⁣⁣

Sustainable swap of the day: Switch your plastic l

Sustainable swap of the day: Switch your plastic loofah for an Ayate Bath Strip from @publicgoods 🚿⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Derived from agave plants, ayate has a naturally coarse texture perfect for exfoliating, aaand it’s biodegradable. You can also put it to work in the kitchen, as a natural alternative to harsh sponges!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
These Ayate Bath Strips are woven by the Otomí People, a group of Native American tribes that live in central Mexico.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Otomí artisans start the process by harvesting leaves of agave, roast and carve them, and after rigorous washing and combing, the ayate threads can be extracted and prepared for weaving. The weaving involves an ancestral technique that is passed from one generation to another.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A plastic loofah could never.⁣⁣

And just like that, Women’s History Month became Earth Month— but a friendly reminder that systems that oppress both women and the earth are interlinked through 🤝Capitalist Patriarchy🤝⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
#CapitalistPatriarchy is the idea that structures of traditional patriarchy merge with the emerging structures of capitalist patriarchy to intensify violence against women.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
So as we step in April, friendly reminder that: ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
✨ the resource grab is essential for “growth” under unchecked capitalism creates a culture of assault: of natural resources, of the working class, of women ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣
✨ to develop a relationship to the Earth is to recognize the divine feminine ⁣⁣⁣⁣
✨ toxic patriarchy is killing us all, both people and planet 🤠⁣⁣ ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
And with that said, EVERY DAY IS EARTH DAY IS INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY! 😚🤌🏽⁣⁣⁣
