Re: Flowing towards equity: Gender, inclusivity and sustainable water management in India and beyond
Dear Biswanat:
In Latin America, too, there is a need to promote equity and inclusiveness of women in water management. This is crucial to ensure that all people, regardless of gender, have equal access to water resources and to water-related decision-making.
Examples of Policies and Practices in Latin America:
1. Peru:
By recognizing and addressing gender differences, more inclusive and resilient water management systems can be created, benefiting society as a whole.
I have read the strategies and initiatives you propose, what do you think would be the 3 most outstanding challenges?
Querido Biswanat:
En Latinoamerica también se trata de impulsar la equidad y la inclusividad de mujeres en la gestión del agua. Esto es crucial para que todas las personas, independientemente de su género, tengan acceso equitativo a los recursos hídricos y a la toma de decisiones relacionadas con el agua.
Ejemplos de Políticas y Prácticas en Latinoamérica:
