Water Governance and Gender: towards a feminist and intergrated management of water resources
What does a gender-responsive water governance framework look like? This roundtable will open a dialogue on what makes a feminist water policy, the role of development agencies in supporting gender-responsive water management programs, and the role of civil society and international community in establishing standards for an inclusive water governance framework.
Purpose:
This event will seek to strengthen dialogue between French and international actors working on water governance and gender equality. It will aim to create a fruitful discussion between the different approaches to the issue of gender in water management and governance: from the point of view of a feminist diplomacy of the state, to that of development agencies, through to by civil society at the local and international level.
