Starting in the 1980’s, policy makers and governments became more mindful of the connection between the environment and gender issues.[1] Changes began to be made regarding natural resource and environmental management with the specific role of women in mind. According to the World Bank, in 1991, women, “women 'play an essential role in the management of natural resources, including soil, water, forests and energy...and often have a profound traditional and contemporary knowledge of the natural world around them'”. Where women were previously neglected or ignored, a trend was started that realized the implications women have upon the natural environment and in return, what effects the environment has on the health and well-being of women. Gender-environment relations have valuable ramifications in regard to the understanding of nature between men and women, the management and distribution of resources and responsibilities and the day-to-day life and well being of people.[2]
