The Global War on Terra Must End (and Capitalist Patriarchy with It)
Vandana Shiva on Int’l Women’s Day: "Capitalist Patriarchy Has Aggravated Violence Against Women"
We end our International Women’s Day broadcast with the Indian feminist,
activist and thinker Dr. Vandana Shiva. The author of many books, most
recently "Making Peace with the Earth," Dr. Shiva discusses the impact
on women by what she calls the world’s "violent economic order," and the
women-led uproar over sexual violence in India triggered by last year’s
brutal gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old student in Delhi. A
world-renowned physicist, Dr. Shiva also addresses the recent U.S.
Supreme Court case pitting an Indiana farmer against the agri-giant
Monsanto. "The multiple wars against the earth, through the economy,
through greed, through capitalist, patriarchal domination, must end, and
we have to recognize we are part of the earth," Dr. Shiva says. "The
liberation of the earth, the liberation of women, the liberation of all
humanity is the next step of freedom we need to work for, and it’s the
next step of peace that we need to create."
