Reframing Agrarian Distress as Structural Violence Against Women
Women constitute the backbone of Indian agriculture, accounting for nearly three-quarters of the rural female workforce, yet they remain systematically excluded from land rights, institutional support and policy recognition. Drawing on a large mixed-methods study in eight distress-prone districts across Maharashtra, Telangana and Punjab by the Society for Promoting Participative Ecosystem Management (SOPPECOM) and Mahila Kisan Adhikar Manch (MAKA…
Urban community-led total sanitation
There is a strong interplay between caste, gender, class and the sanitation crisis in rapidly urbanising areas. • The worst affected are marginalised residents as well as sanitation workers and migrants. • Local action and communities alone cannot address problems of faecal sludge and wastewater management. • CLTS programmes need to address second and third generation challenges as well as sustainability and equity. • Safely managed sanitation ne…
Caring for Groundwater
Efforts to measure and regulate groundwaters and irrigators are notoriously ineffective. The starting point of this article, therefore, is to question the continued faith in techno-managerial solutions to groundwater depletion. We discuss the potential of the conceptual vocabulary of ‘care’ to complement, refresh and expand ways of talking about and doing groundwater governance. Mobilizing a diverse range of examples from places where pressures o…
Caring Communities for Radical Change
In this chapter, we share the insights of feminist political ecology (FPE) for degrowth, building from the debates on “caring communities for radical change” at the 8th International Degrowth Conference in August 2021. We discuss how FPE links to the principles of degrowth as an academic and activist movement and why it is necessary to take feminist political ecology perspectives on care and caring communities in resisting, questioning, and count…
Covid-19 in Rural India, Algeria, and Morocco
In this paper we present a situated analysis of the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the life of small-scale farmers and agricultural laborers in India, Algeria, and Morocco. We draw on data collected through phone interviews since April 2020. Inspired by feminist scholars, we analyze our findings thinking with—and entangling—the concepts of intersectionality, resilience and care. We firstly document the material impacts of the lockdown m…
Locked out of livelihoods
Transformations to groundwater sustainability
If the success of agricultural intensification continues to rely on the depletion of aquifers and exploitation of (female) labour, transformations to groundwater sustainability will be impossible to achieve. Hence, the development of new groundwater imaginaries, based on alternative ways of organizing society-water relations is highly important. This paper argues that a comparative documentation of grass-roots initiatives to care for, share or re…
Canal Commands and Rising Inequity
Public sector irrigation is rapidly changing in India, and the state of Maharashtra is no exception to this. Public sector irrigation projects that were designed independently of groundwater are increasingly being used to harness ground- water. This has been a gradual ongoing process which has shifted benefits from public to private. Increasing use of groundwater in canal commands has huge implications for equity, both in terms of direct access t…
No relief
The provision of sanitation in India has attracted much attention, but research and policies focusing on gender in relation to sanitation often fail to focus on sanitation-related violence against women (VAW). This article focuses on research in Pune (in Maharashtra) and Jaipur (in Rajasthan). It offers evidence of slum-dwelling women’s experiences of harassment and violence related to poor or absent sanitation facilities. In addition, it explore…
