The Gender and Water Development Report 2003: Gender Perspectives on Policies in the Water Sector

|
Description / Abstract

Sustainable water management and gender equity are mutually supporting and interdependent. The analyses of four major water sectors presented in this report provide strong arguments for the contentions that:

 

  • Involving men and women in influential roles at all levels can hasten the achievement of sustainability in the management of scarce water resource.
  • Managing water in an integrated and sustainable way can contribute significantly to better gender equity, by improving the access of women and men to water and water-related services to meet their essential needs.
