Women in Water Governance

Women in water governance refers to the involvement and leadership of women in managing water resources and policies. As water is essential for health, agriculture, and energy, women's participation ensures diverse perspectives, fostering more equitable and sustainable solutions. Women often bear the responsibility of water management in communities, yet they are frequently underrepresented in decision-making roles. Promoting gender equality in water governance can enhance resource management, empower communities, and improve overall water accessibility and quality, ultimately leading to greater social and environmental resilience.
