- Abstract
This article addresses women's protection rights in the context of the environment. The objective is to identify, in the strategic actions of the National Plan of Policies for Women, the defense of access to efficient energy sources and the fight against forms of violence against women and girls generated by sectors of major works. The Plans consider that women and girls are most affected by the lack of access and insecurity regarding the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation; and insecurity as to reliable, sustainable, modern and affordable access to energy for all, situations aggravated by the misuse of resources and climate change. The effects of large companies on women are the growth of prostitution and violence, due to exclusion from the labor market, leaving them without alternatives and more vulnerable. It is concluded that the defense and guarantee of the right to a healthy and sustainable environment, in relation to legislative and legal aspects, is the role of the State. Civil society can face acts that violate this right through, for example, organizational and institutional cooperation and educational actions.
