Abstract

The environmental impacts of war can be understood by examiningthe magnitude and duration of effects, involved ecosystems. From war perspective, different activities can be seen as having prolongedand pervasive environmental impact with significant consequencesfor human populations. There is always this question: How much is the cost of a war.
 There are enormous gaps in our knowledge about the relationshipof war, environment women and ethics. Understanding is constrained by the lackof recorded information and the comparative absence of continuingsystematic research undertaken from within any one discipline. Who is responsible for this environmental conflict, women or men?
 In present study we explore how war affects environment without considering ethics with respect to women.
