Abstract

This essay explores women’s role in environmental sustainability drawing from the Filipino concept of “Ate.” Through a contrapuntal analysis, it unveils the convergence and divergence between women’s roles in formal environmental advocacy and as caregivers within the family, emphasizing the interconnectedness of these roles. Examining birth order in Filipino culture reveals the early-age responsibilities, particularly for first-born females, highlighting their leadership, teaching, and caregiving roles. The study underscores women’s significant role as environmental stewards, both locally and globally, aligning with the biblical concept of overseeing and caring for the Earth. The exploration of women as promoters of welfare, within Filipino culture and through environmental protection efforts, demonstrates diverse contributions to community and planetary well-being. The study intertwines biblical perspectives with cultural insights, emphasizing shared responsibility for Earth stewardship. In conclusion, it calls for a comprehensive understanding of women’s contributions in environmental and familial spheres, recognizing their pivotal and interconnected roles. As the world faces urgent environmental challenges, leveraging the diverse perspectives and actions of women emerges as crucial for sustainable and equitable solutions. The study contributes valuable insights to discussions on gender roles, environmentalism, and cultural contexts, advocating for the recognition and promotion of women’s roles in shaping a sustainable future. Keywords: ecofeminism, environmental sustainability, gender roles, caregiving, “ate” concept, formal advocacy
生态女权主义视角与家庭动态:探索妇女在环境可持续性中的角色和菲律宾人的 "Ate "概念
本文从菲律宾的 "Ate "概念出发,探讨了妇女在环境可持续发展中的作用。通过对偶分析,文章揭示了妇女在正式的环境倡导活动中与在家庭中作为照顾者的角色之间的趋同与分歧,强调了这些角色之间的相互联系。对菲律宾文化中出生顺序的研究揭示了女性在幼年时期的责任,尤其是头胎女性的责任,突出了她们的领导、教育和照顾角色。研究强调了妇女作为当地和全球环境管理者的重要作用,这与圣经中监督和照料地球的概念相一致。对妇女作为菲律宾文化中的福利促进者以及通过环境保护努力所做贡献的探讨,展示了妇女对社区和地球福祉的不同贡献。这项研究将《圣经》观点与文化见解交织在一起,强调共同承担地球管理责任。最后,研究呼吁全面了解妇女在环境和家庭领域的贡献,认识到她们的关键和相互关联的作用。世界面临着紧迫的环境挑战,利用妇女的不同观点和行动对于可持续和公平的解决方案至关重要。本研究为有关性别角色、环境主义和文化背景的讨论提供了宝贵的见解,倡导承认和促进妇女在塑造可持续未来中的作用。关键词:生态女性主义、环境可持续性、性别角色、照料、"吃 "的概念、正式倡导
