Gender and environmental law

Více o knize

The narrative explores the political activism of women babassu nut breakers in Brazil, who have emerged as key players in the struggle for recognition and rights amidst the country's re-democratisation. They advocate for the valorisation of their traditional practices, the promotion of babassu-derived products, and the enforcement of laws protecting their activities. Their movement is rooted in a socio-environmental perspective, emphasizing the role of traditional populations in environmental stewardship due to their sustainable practices. Despite constitutional recognition, their rights remain unrealized.
