“…Ecofeminism is a socio-political movement within feminism that acknowledges the interdependence between the subjugation of women and the exploitation of the natural environment [13]. The concept is grounded in the principles of shared values, empowerment, intersectionality, and community [16]. One potential determinant that could be associated with ecofeminism is the elevated degree of perceived behavioral control among females.…”

Environmental issues require immediate attention and commitment from individuals, communities, and institutions. Universities have a crucial role in fostering a pro-environmental mindset among students. The extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) helps understand pro-environmental intentions and actions by considering factors such as attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, trust, and risk perception. This study explores the role of gender in pro-environmental behaviors using the TPB framework. We explored gender differences and variations in the responses. Using a gender lens to discuss our data, this study advances gender-based pro-environmental behavior and comes up with recommendations for targeted interventions based on gender to enhance pro-environmental behaviors among university students.

“…The first feminine action of female characters in Frozen II (Elsa and Anna) to repairing natural damage happens when they decide to go to the enchanted forest and Elsa successfully conquers one of the 4 supernatural spirits, the air spirit. Women's experiences, voices, perceptions, and knowledge ground the rewriting and recreating of the world (Warren, 1997). In this case, Elsa's experience, knowledge, and voice become her strength to overcome all existing environmental problems.…”

“…She doesn't kill or destroy Bruni. As one woman working for peace said, "To establish more equal relations between the sexes, rather than training women to kill, let men learn to nurture life" (Warren, 1997). After this incident, both parties (Arendelle soldiers and the Northuldra tribe) believe that Elsa and Anna do not have bad intentions and a bad influence on the environment around the enchanted forest.…”

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the interrelation between women and nature in an animation movie produced by Walt Disney and directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee. The study aims at examining the relationship between women and nature in Walt Disney’s Movie Frozen II (2019), with a special focus on the destruction of nature that occurs in the movie and the role of female characters in repairing the environmental damage. Moreover, Gaard’s theory of Ecofeminism serves as the theoretical framework upon which women and nature relations are examined within the gender and ecological contexts. The study shows that there are environmental issues in the movie as a result of the dominant patriarchal system in which the king is considered as a leader of everything and everyone must obey the King's orders. Furthermore, the study shows that Elsa and Anna have the feminine values to overcoming the existing natural destruction. The results of this study reveal that women can be a leader and also the female character in this movie have feminine values to repair the existing natural destruction and maintaining the nature by reconciling with the 4 supernatural spirits. Hence, the study highlights the domination of women, the role of gender, and the ecological aspects in Frozen II movies that have not been fully explored previously.

“…The ecofeminist movement has undergone a lot of criticism because it obscures the essential spirit of feminism (McKenna 1998;Buckingham 2004; G. Gaard 2010). However, is this true?…”

“…The emergence of factories that have the potential to destroy nature has given rise to an ecofeminist movement from women (Mellor 1992;McKenna 1998;Greta Gaard 1996;Salleh 2003;Lahar 1991), which shows three essential things, namely: (1) the issue of women and the environment can be a justification for the women's movement against large corporations, (2) urgent situations often give birth to women as leaders. Who can disrupt, raise awareness and mobilize other women to unite, and (3) show women's unique resistance to the cement industry and attract public attention.…”

This research aims to discuss the direction of the ecofeminist movement in Indonesia after the New Order. The world ecofeminist movement is often criticized because it is considered to obscure the essential spirit of feminism in its efforts to protect nature. However, in Indonesia, it is widely praised for its success in protecting wildlife from potential damage. This research uses ecofeminism theory and resource mobilization theory to examine the side of women's struggle to preserve nature. In order to identify research gaps and uncharted region for further investigation, this study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). There are three stages involved in SLR: planning, conducting, and reporting. The results of this research are that there is strengthening within the organization of the ecofeminist movement when natural disasters and other potential natural damage occur, thus giving rise to collective awareness about the importance of women participating in protecting nature. This research concludes that the ecofeminist movement opens up new political opportunities for women to be empowered and prosperous and protect wildlife.
