| Summary: | The purpose of this essay is to discuss issues related to development, socioenvironmental
disasters, and gender, which, for being important elements of the public debate in
Brazil today, should be addressed in research and public policy strategies. The relationship
between gender, class, race/ethnicity and socio-environmental disasters is presented, and key
concepts about development, the environment, and equality are examined in the context of
recent economic policies. The essay reflects on the condition of women found in a subaltern
condition in capitalist society who suffer the consequences of socio-environmental disasters. It
concludes with suggestions for including a focus on gender in the preparation of research and
action strategies. |
