title: Parental activism in Dugi Rat:  A case study on the influence of a slag landfill on maternal and paternal life
creator: Puljiz, Filip
description: This research considers the influence of gender on parental environmental activism by taking   activism that came in response to perceived toxicity of and landscape degradation by an open   ferrochrome slag landfill in Dugi Rat in Croatia. This thesis investigates the gender differences   within parents’ perception of the environmental issue and activism by studying the existing   literature and analysing the primary data obtained by one-to-one and focus group interviews with   six parental couples from Dugi Rat. This research shows that motherhood and fatherhood can bear   different perceptions of environmental issue harmfulness which can be due to the gendered   responsibilities within the private sphere. When it comes to public sphere, the mothers of Dugi Rat   were the ones whose care for children ultimately resulted in leading public activist events and   whose maternal bond was used to inspire other mothers to come to protest and invite their husbands  to join the movement.
