Women in Water and Development

Women in Water and Development focuses on empowering women to play a key role in managing water resources and ensuring equitable access. In many communities, women are primary users and custodians of water, yet they often face barriers like limited decision-making power and inadequate infrastructure. Addressing these issues helps improve water quality, sanitation, and hygiene, ultimately benefiting health, education, and economic opportunities. Recognizing women's knowledge and leadership fosters sustainable development, gender equality, and resilient communities, ensuring that water-related challenges are effectively managed and that women's rights are upheld in efforts to achieve broader development goals.
