Women, environment and development - 1994 - p.71-79 - Jun

"Women have been the worst sufferers as a result of uncontrolled degradation of forest and our environment. A very large part of their time is spent on meeting the family need for fuel, fodder and water, with very little attention paid to their nutritional and health requirements. The problem of male migration has only added to their misery. Women have now become aware of the need to protect their environment and have actively involved themselves in various movements to save the environment. There is also the need for voluntary groups to impart environmental education."
