ABSTRACT
The present COVID-19 pandemic disaster has brought new challenges to women and shown why the environment needs more benevolent treatment. This study argues that Eco-feminism prescribes an effective way to mitigate the problems of women and the environment, by addressing the two problems together. As Eco-feminism is an activist movement, awareness about its core ideas is essential for its successful implementation. This study explores the tribal (Santhal) population in the village 'Baragora' situated at the Purulia District in the State of West Bengal, India, to investigate the effectiveness of theatre as a medium for creating awareness about the core ideas of Eco-feminism. On the basis of some simple statistical analysis, it observes that there exists an overwhelming preference towards theatre for creating awareness irrespective of gender and irrespective of existing concepts about the core ideas of Eco-feminism. Theatre can promote the core ideas about eco-feminism, as an important tool for tackling the COVID-19 situation present and forthcoming. © 2021 Shaikh Ahmad Hassan School of Law. All right reserved.
