Gender in Water Governance

Gender in water governance refers to recognizing how men's and women's roles, experiences, and needs related to water management differ. It involves ensuring that both men and women have equal voice, participation, and access to decision-making in water-related issues. Incorporating gender perspectives leads to more equitable and effective policies, as it considers diverse needs—such as women’s roles in water collection and sanitation—and promotes sustainable water use for all community members. This approach helps address inequalities and improves water management outcomes for everyone.
