“…Many activists and scholars have called for moving away from fossil-fuel-based recovery not just to slow down climate breakdown, but for better post-pandemic fiscal recovery that includes climate financing that is gender-accountable (Hepburn et al, 2020). Some recent examples put forth by activists are the Feminist Green New Deal in the USA (Daniel & Dolan, 2020) and Feminist Fossil Free Future in the Asia-Pacific (Godden et al, 2020). Such endeavors would require multi-scalar, gender-disaggregated data collection, greater monitoring, accountability, adequate capacities, and budgetary resources allocated for intersectional analyses and thus responsiveness and redress where necessary.…”

The overlapping global socio-ecological crises of climate change and COVID-19 pandemic have simultaneously dominated discussions since 2020. The connections between them expose underbellies of structural inequities and systemic marginalizations across scales and sites. While ongoing climate change amplifies, compounds, and creates new forms of injustices and stresses, all of which are interlinked and interconnected, the emergence of COVID-19 pandemic has also co-created new challenges, vulnerabilities, and burdens, as well as reinforcing old ones. An intersectional analysis of these overlapping but uneven global crises demonstrates the importance of investigating and addressing them simultaneously through a feminist lens. This allows for a more nuanced understanding of the co-production of injustices structurally, materially, and discursively.

“…Finally, eco-feminist thinking places great importance on democratic processes of transformation and challenges the idea of eco-social policy as a technocratic issue to be solved by political elites and academics. Many have criticised the underrepresentation of women and feminist movements from climate policy making, and demanded more democratic processes to address systemic inequalities (Daniel and Dolan, 2020; Gay-Antaki, 2020). Some extend the demand to the democratic management of eco-social services and workplaces (Williams, 2021) as well as public investment decisions (Mellor, 2019).…”

Climate Crisis and Social Protection - From Worker Protection to Post-growth Transformation?

The article discusses five literature strands’ approaches towards social protection systems in the context of climate crisis: Adaptive Social Protection, Just Transition, Green New Deal, Post-growth, and Eco-feminism. As we argue, these five strands are located on a spectrum between a green growth orientation and a green anti-capitalist orientation. Furthermore, they differ in terms of their problematisation of the climate crisis and have different perspectives on relevant actors, on world regions, and – most relevant in the context of social welfare – their conceptualisation of social protection. While Adaptive Social Protection emphasizes cash transfers and insurances, Green New Deal and Just Transition approaches focus more on redistribution and labour market policies, and Post-growth and Eco-feminist approaches more on universalist policies and systems. We argue that these literatures each have their weaknesses, but also offer urgent questions, concepts, and insights for further social policy research.

The Discursive Tactics of the Menstrual Movement: Destigmatisation, Intersectionality and Collective Identity

Drawing on interviews with 32 menstrual activists, this chapter analyses the discursive tactics that are used by the menstrual movement in Great Britain. It explores how this movement seeks to transform the mediation of menstruation as well as how menstrual activists advocate for social change via traditional and social media. The chapter explores various discursive strategies used by the 32 participants to alter the mediation of menstruation and, as a result, improve the lives of women and other people who menstruate. Tactics include using non-stigmatising language, speaking openly about menstruation, highlighting the intersectional nature of menstrual experience and promoting the inclusion of menstruating people of all genders and ethnicities. The chapter argues that, for menstrual activists, transforming the mediation of menstruation both on social media and in news media is a vital step towards destigmatising menstruation and reducing social inequalities in Great Britain. Furthermore, the chapter explores the influence of neoliberalism on menstrual activism as well as various points of disagreement and tension within the menstrual movement. This includes a lack of consensus about which discourses are the most effective for engendering social change.
