Pollution and Women in an Age of Technology

Abstract

At the outset it may seem irrelevant to talk about pollution in relation to women and children, especially when environmental issues and relevant crises are global and affect all life forms on earth. However, in reality, these issues and problems do not affect men, women, children and other life forms in the same way. The reasons vary because of the multiplicity of accepted social equality, religious beliefs, role definitions and role expectations of the sexes.
