The Gender and Water Network (GWN) website has been updated recently with valuable background information on linking Gender and Water.

The aim of gendering water is ‘To achieve equity and equality among women and men in sustainable water resources development and management at all levels’. The mission of GWN is to promote women’s and men’s equitable access to and management of safe and adequate water, for domestic supply, sanitation, food security and environmental sustainability. The GWN links students, professionals and researchers with interest related to gender concerns in water resource management. GWN was established by Kuntala Lahiri-Dutt in 2003 after the success of the Fluid Bonds Workshop held at ANU to celebrate the International Year of Freshwater.

You are invited to visit the website, and join the Network to receive updated information on gender perspectives in everyday water use, or visit the Gender and Water Community Blog for a collection of most recent and pressing issues related to gender and water including events and publications.
