Abstract:
This report explains why women in Asia and the Pacific are more likely to suffer water insecurity, shows how it impacts their lives, and sets out ways to infuse gender into water management, policies, and governance to ensure water security for all.
Highlighting how women are underrepresented in the management and delivery of water, the report recommends setting targets, monitoring progress toward gender equality, and promoting gender-inclusive practices in water security initiatives. It shows how water-related organizations alongside governance and management institutions can take measures to boost women’s water access, reduce vulnerability, and increase employment to drive transformational change.
