Abstract

The article seeks to analyze how the neoliberal and consumption-focused capitalist system influences power relations and dynamics, such as gender oppression. The objective is based mainly on understanding to what extent environmental movements of women, such as the Permaculture Women's Work and the Movement of Peasant Women, realize human rights through a proposal of sustainable consumption and at the same time update the very notion of sustainable development, with a greater focus on gender and questioning the neoliberal predispositions. In this sense, we sought to identify concepts about intersectional feminism, which provides a broad viewpoint in relation to multiple discriminations, and the main challenges faced by women in the specific field of rural workers, climate change, and alternative modes of sustainability. Thus, in a first moment, a bibliographic review is started, having as theoretical framework the studies of Nancy Fraser, David Holmgren, and Bill Molisson, to talk about a feminism that seeks the recognition of its diversity, besides the articulation of permaculture with female protagonism. Moreover, with a qualitative analysis of social movements and current issues, it seeks a critical analysis of the economic, social, and ecological crises. It is possible to perceive that, even though they are a vulnerable group, through a dialogic perception of the theme, it is possible that a feminism with a view to intersectionality can present creative answers to urgent and current problems.
