EKSISTENSI EKOFEMINISME TRANSFORMATIF DALAM HUKUM LINGKUNGAN DI INDONESIA

Abstract

Environmental degradation that continues to occur without proper handling and prevention will certainly worsen the situation. At the same time, patriarchal and anthropocentric social constructions and environmental legal systems underlie many environmental policies. Existing policies often do not see the interconnectedness between one entity and another. The position of the environment or nature itself is seen as a mere object that can be continuously exploited and marginalized groups get a greater impact from various environmental damage. Ecology and Feminism have mutually reinforcing goals to release environmental degradation and inequality against vulnerable groups or certain genders. Ecofeminism thinking with a transformative approach is needed in the body of Indonesian environmental law which is still closely related to domination, hierarchical, and dualistic values. A holistic paradigm shift is needed based on the nature of Transformative Ecofeminism, namely intersectionality, systemic change, environmental empowerment and inclusiveness. The findings show that there are weaknesses in environmental law regulations in Indonesia that have significant impacts. The absence of regulations based on environmental equality and empowerment causes environmental degradation to worsen and seems to be facilitated by existing laws. The value of sustainability tends to be false and not rooted, so that the impacts that occur on vulnerable groups and the environment do not get resolved.
