Abstract

Extractivist practices threaten water security and with it, people's health and livelihoods. Numerous communities around the world are engaged in the strenuous work of resistance against mining. Through our previous research, we matured a sense that women are a major force behind organizing for water security, particularly because they often refer to an embodied sense of urgency to act against ongoing extractivism to preserve their waters and territories. Yet, a systematic assessment of the state of knowledge at the intersection of extractivism, water, resistance and gender is still missing. Thus, the goal of this article is to provide an overview, through a systematic scoping review, of the existing anglophone scientific literature focusing on water insecurity due to extractivism and its consequent community resistance, with a particular focus on gender. We identify 30 articles with only six explicitly referring to gender. All studies have in common the understanding that water insecurity is a manmade problem, particularly due to extractivism. Resistance is a great revelator of politics, and this systematic scoping review shows that dynamics of depletion and sacrifice zones—both in environmental and human terms—cannot be understood without considering gender and intersectional relations. Yet, an explicit focus on gender as an analytical lens of water and extractivism is still lacking in the literature. Importantly, this systematic scoping review shows similarities across case studies emphasizing the need to interrogate the transnationality of these phenomena.

抵制采掘业导致的水资源不安全。性别在其中有作用吗?系统性范围研究
开采行为威胁着水安全,也威胁着人们的健康和生计。世界各地的许多社区都在从事艰苦的反采矿工作。通过以往的研究,我们逐渐认识到,妇女是为水安全而组织起来的主要力量,特别是因为她们经常提到,为了保护自己的水源和领土,她们有一种采取行动反对正在进行的采掘活动的紧迫感。然而,对于采掘业、水、抵抗和性别之间的交汇点的知识状况仍然缺乏系统的评估。因此,本文旨在通过系统性的范围界定审查,对现有英语科学文献进行概述,重点关注采掘主义导致的水不安全问题及其随之而来的社区反抗,尤其关注性别问题。我们确定了 30 篇文章,其中只有 6 篇明确提到了性别问题。所有研究的共同认识是,水资源不安全是一个人为问题,尤其是由于采掘业造成的。抵制是政治的重要启示,本系统性范围审查表明,如果不考虑性别和交叉关系,就无法理解环境和人类方面的枯竭和牺牲区动态。然而,文献中仍然缺乏对性别问题的明确关注,将其作为分析水资源和采掘业的一个视角。重要的是,这次系统性的范围界定审查显示了各案例研究之间的相似性,强调了对这些现象的跨国性进行审视的必要性。
