Gender and Water Resources

Gender and water resources refer to the relationship between gender roles and access to water. In many communities, women and girls are often primarily responsible for collecting water, which can limit their opportunities for education and work. Additionally, their specific needs and perspectives are frequently overlooked in water management policies. Recognizing the different experiences of all genders is crucial for creating sustainable water solutions that ensure equitable access and use. Involving women in decision-making processes can lead to more effective water management and improve overall community health and development.
