Gender and Water Governance

Gender and water governance refer to how decisions about water management are made and who is involved, recognizing that men, women, and non-binary people often experience water issues differently due to social roles and responsibilities. Effective governance ensures inclusive participation, addressing diverse needs and promoting equitable access to water resources. Considering gender perspectives helps improve water systems, enhance sustainability, and empower vulnerable groups, ultimately leading to fairer and more effective water management that benefits entire communities.
