Dia Mirza Statement : ‘Men responsible for climate change, Dia Mirza’s statement stirs up social media; She said, ‘I my..’

Dia Mirza is currently in a controversy due to one of her statements. Apart from being an actress, she is also a Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations Environment Programme. Recently, in a conversation with Soha Ali Khan, the actress accused the male-dominated system of harming the global climate, which led to her facing online trolling. In her statement, Diya said that men are responsible for climate change and the unrest it creates. Following this statement, a large group of social media users started targeting the actress, to which Diya has now responded.

Speaking on Soha Ali Khan’s podcast, Dia Mirza blamed men for climate change and environmental damage. She said, “Patriarchy is the biggest cause of climate change. It’s men in this world who…” Soha stopped Diya midway, “You talked about male ego.” Diya then added, “Yes, men have fueled climate change and are entirely responsible for the turmoil in the world today. And this is not only happening in the Global South, but also in the Global North.”

Responding to criticism on social media, Dia Mirza said, “Since so many of you are discussing this, it would be best to explain it in the simplest possible terms. I still stand by my statement that ‘climate crisis is caused by patriarchy.’ Vulnerable communities are seen as objects of exploitation rather than protection.”

Diya further writes, “Just as women and girls are treated in patriarchal societies, so are forests, rivers, oceans and ecosystems. They too have been treated as mere ‘commodities’ or ‘commodities’, and the consequences cannot be ignored.” In this episode of All About Her, Aarti and I also discuss how exploitative, oppressive and hegemonic systems of men have created economic structures that fuel climate change.

Diya added “Exploitative, hegemonic systems are working to undermine those who speak up for nature conservation and women’s rights. Women and girls, especially in vulnerable communities, are often the first to face the effects of climate change, such as water scarcity, food insecurity, displacement and loss of livelihoods.”

Dia Mirza says “When we talk about climate change action, we must also talk about justice. We must question systems that promote continued exploitation and consumption while undermining values ​​like care, cooperation and conservation of nature.” “The climate crisis is not just about carbon. It is also about how we treat each other and the natural world. To build a sustainable future, we must move away from systems of dominance to systems based on equality, compassion and respect for all living things.”
