L’articolo affronta l’ecofemminismo in quanto approccio critico in grado di favorire l’intersezione tra giustizia sociale e sostenibilità ambientale, e ne analizza le radici storiche e l’evoluzione teorica. Nel contesto delle sfide contemporanee legate all’ integrazione tra genere ed ecologia, l’ecofemminismo si presenta come una chiamata all’azione volta a trasformare le dinamiche di oppressione. Il caso di studio del progetto MORE Latinoamerica sottolinea il ruolo dell’educazione e dell’empowerment come strategie efficaci per la formazione di una coscienza ecologica tra le donne e i giovani di lingua spagnola. Mediante iniziative di formazione e dia-logo, il progetto promuove l’empowerment delle partecipanti, evidenziando il loro ruolo cruciale nella gestione dell’ambiente. L’articolo sottolinea la necessità di un approccio integrato per affrontare le disuguaglianze di genere e consentire un futuro so-stenibile, evidenziando la rilevanza dell’ecofemminismo nella formulazione di soluzioni inclusive e nella costruzione di un mondo più giusto ed equo
