Introduction

Gender inequality is a cross-cutting issue that impacts the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Existing structural inequalities and social norms create different conditions for women and men. Juxtapose this with the fact that we live in the Anthropocene era, wherein human activities contribute towards ecological changes (Steffen, and others, 2004). Therefore, “environment” goes beyond its physical form to encompass social dynamics, such as gender-based dynamics, within which human lives are implicated. The social dynamics, on the other hand, affect how environmental resources are used, accessed and made part of human existence.
