Abstract
Extractive and industrial projects forcefully take and exploit land and resources, putting the vulnerable communities depending on them in danger. Women environmental defenders are mobilizing around the world as among the most affected and undervalued protagonists. However, they are facing widespread violence and even murder for their resistance against the multinational corporations typically responsible for such harm and repression. This article summarizes previous work based on the EJAtlas, an online database of environmental conflicts. A feminist political ecology analysis of EJAtlas cases shows how violent repression is gendered, which affects diverse women differently depending on their unique circumstances and identities. Their various experiences of gendered violence influence their distinctly nonviolent mobilization strategies. This could have important implications for countering violent hegemonies.
