22 March: World Water Day 2015
A day for Water and Water for Sustainable Development. Water is key for women’s empowerment and economic development.
Women are experts, leaders and agents of change in the water-sustainable development nexus, thus playing important roles to achieve equitable access to water for all and all uses (sanitation inclusive).
Therefore it is effective to include women in all levels of decision making in designing, implementing, gender disaggregated monitoring and evaluating. It is crucial that sufficient means and budget, - inter alia for empowerment, capacity development including vocational training, good governance processes, - is allocate to enable women to fulfill these roles.
On World Water Day it is again important to remember that water brings hope and successful water management is a source of pride for women everywhere.
In the main hall of the UN Headquarters in New York, the exhibition “Water for Life voices”, staged by “water for life Decade”, is showcasing all these wonderful women that brought this hope and pride to their communities – with a little help of a friend.
Two of WfWP ’s members and their projects are showcased there. They make us proud and remind us all that women as actors in their own right in the water sector deserves our support.
