Abstract:
Mother Earth hosts all members of the creation community. This common home makes members of the Earth community siblings and, inevitably, family. Their interconnectedness, however, does not automatically guarantee the rights of the Earth as the hosting mother; nor does it guarantee the rights of the women, animal and plant family. This chapter will explore the interface of Earth Crisis, Pandemics, Human rights and the role of religion in Southern Africa. It will weave Southern Africa narratives of the struggle for liberation and postcolonial disappointments with national, gender, health and Earth justice dream narratives. The essay will draw primarily, but not exclusively, from the work of the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians, who have centered the theme Earth, Gender and Pandemics as their research focus in the past two decades.
