title: Parental activism in Dugi Rat:  A case study on the influence of a slag landfill on maternal and paternal life
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: 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.
