For Lilia Nenescu, a feminist economy transcends the exploitative sexual and international division of labour. It’s about creating non-hierarchical, reciprocal relationships across genders, geographies, social classes, and with nature. She shared this perspective at the RLS Summer School “Feminist Economy and Social Justice – Redefining Paths,” offering a well-grounded critique of the concept of infinite growth that dominates mainstream economics today.
An activist focused on labor in the global economy, Lilia is also a member of Moldova’s Advisory Council for Refugee Rights and co-coordinated a project supporting the labor rights of Ukrainian refugees.
The capitalist system neither guarantees nor takes responsibility for the sustainability of life, and breaks community and collective ties. It pours this responsibility into households, making it individual and isolated.
