Ellen Fungisai Chipango is a scientist of Ubuntu’s utility’s utility – if you work for the best of others, it is a scientist of our best as individual and society. Ubuntu explores ways that can be applied in real life related to energy. This article discusses it Final edition About to apply Ubuntu feminist approach to roll the renewable energy. Ubuntu feminism is the idea that everyone has to take care of each other’s well-being.
What restrictions are there in the transition to the renewable energy?
One restriction is not to benefit from women to pass on green energy. For example, the women in Sub-Sahara Africa are doing more work in the house and therefore spend more time More than men trying to use the energy to warm the house and use energy to eat. They ride their safety and walk longer distances to collect firewood night when sexual and gender-based violence.
If the renewable energy is available, it does not mean that women can automatically use or be useful to them. For example, The study was previously found A solar panel in Zimbabwe is not enough for electric rivers, irons and stoves. This can cause women to cook in fires.
Another restriction is the only account of women One-third of the workforce In the global scale renewable energy. The lack of gender capital is technical, management and politicalism decisions. Women in South Africa’s renewable energy sector only make up 14% of the workforce.

This Paris Agreement Stresses that women need to be putting first in the energy transition process. (The agreement is a legally binding international agreement on climate change.) However, this is mainly in the way of use Smart Economy – When gender equality allows women and girls to access resources and opportunities, benefit from them to families, communities and the next generations Increases economic growth.
Individual jobs for women in the field of green energy are important. However, the smart economy and access to women do not dismantle the structures of strength, class and imperialism. For example, when there are global countries northern Go to the renewable energy, when women in the global southern southern southern southern minerals or green technology factories have cheap labor in the global south.
The passage is also said to be Fairly or fair If enough Women’s individuals Get jobs in renewable energy. But this is also limited because Older women It does not work that does not benefit from green work and is therefore excluded.
How did you suggest around these restrictions?
I suggest A framework based on Ubuntu feminism said it could be a solution. Ubuntu expressed as a person person through other persons.
Ubuntu feminism emphasizes that energy use depends only on the soul of working towards a common goal. The renewable role should accept that energy is not only necessary by individual families in their homes, but also plays a role in developing social bonds in their homes and communities.
Ubuntu Feminist Framework for Renewable Energy Supply:
Encourage the feeling of deep affiliation: Ubuntu, caring and care, is a function inside society. All renewable energy policies must aim to unite people.
Protect and support social bonds: A village during my field work resident From Zimbabwe, “Energy means that the society is unable to meet with the expected of a woman,” he said. In other words, access to energy allows people to play a role in society. This means that a woman is able to take a community event, such as a community event or to prepare food to feed your neighbor’s children.

Can Ubuntu philosophy help face health crises?
Address Power Dynamics: If public and service providers fail to deliver energy services, these women’s humanity and service providers include humanity. Only the transition will have to make sure that the renewable energy providers do not fail the same energy providers.
Highlight social harmony with needy: Renewable energy should be delivered to those who need to be in the template settlements or in need of people in need of elderly and diseases.
Make sure that the future is the one of the one that everyone works together: Renewable energy technologies do not guarantee democracy and equality. They are neutral and can serve any person or leadership. Ubuntu feminism, on the other hand, is intended for a future benefit everyone.
What steps will this approach only set up the transition plan?
People in society, which are poorer and more than those of more privileged sexes, will not benefit from the renewable energy. This is the first step.
Only the transition, as well as the restorative justice process between fossil gas companies and the restoration of those companies should be the restorative justice process. Restorative justice is aimed at reconciling and healing for both victims and sinners. It is recommended that the perpetrators of the perpetrators are responsible for the actions. For example, coal industry It is necessary to prevent damage caused by contamination.
Is to give the next step public actions The main role of the renewable energy. Social actions make up people around the collective goal. In general, the energy passage is able to strengthen how the energy transition is going and energy on local, community and municipal control.
Ubuntu Feminism aims to break a more fair future. It should be applied to the struggle for the energy transition, because it reveals ways that we can move away from fossil fossil and can be carried out in the spirit of collective welfare.
