women are associated with nature. This concept came up with the term “mother earth”
because the concept of ecofeminism correlates gender equality and advocates on
women’s rights and protection along with the movement of nurturing nature. With that

protect nature, because if we harm it, it’s the same thing as harming women or in this
case, our own mother.
Muslim feminism is a concept about giving criticism towards patriarchy in
Islam based on the Qur’an. It criticizes about how men are heavily dominating their
roles in Islam, in which creates a gender inequality on Islamic social structure, since
most of Qur’an and hadith phrases are mostly biased on male roles, and Muslim
feminism demands emancipation from the oppression of heavily domination from men
based from the Islamic dogma.
