A Constituição de 1988 já propõe a igualdade de gênero como uma de suas premissas, porém isso ainda não foi alcançado na atual realidade brasileira. A partir de análise filosófica, normativa e de políticas públicas, este trabalho conclui que o ecofeminismo se apresenta como uma proposta de solução para a implementação de um sistema mais igualitário quanto ao gênero, uma vez que está pautado para que a dignidade humana seja um direito de todos, exaltando a vida em todos os sentidos. As experiências e contribuições das mulheres para um meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado devem ocupar um lugar prioritário no século XXI. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa constatou que um conjunto de ações isoladas são insuficientes para a implementação do desenvolvimento sustentável com foco na proteção dos direitos das mulheres, principalmente das mais vulneráveis, de maneira ampla no Brasil.
