Patriarchal institutions’ interconnected oppressions of nature and women have led to the marginalization of diverse communities, and ecosystems have been relentlessly destroyed. To safeguard the planet from catastrophic ecological harm, this chapter analyses how ecofeminism, an ethic of care, and Sustainable Development Goal 5 is interconnected in protecting the Earth from irreparable ecological destruction with a prime focus on India. It examines the need to question the hierarchical and fragmented relationship between people and nature, firmly established in a culture of exclusion supported by masculinist modernity. This paper adopts a historical and geographical perspective, drawing on extensive literature and examples that delve into the seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. The study demonstrated that we might strive towards reaching SDG 5 and promote gender equality, empower women, and safeguard the well-being of humans and the environment by adopting an ecofeminist approach, an ethic of caring. Then, while recognizing the significance of gender dynamics within our moral code, we may create a movement towards caring for and safeguarding the Earth.
