Available Online
To be successful, initiatives aimed at the betterment of lives and the environment must recognize women’s frequent roles as primary land and resource managers and weigh the different ways women and men consider conservation and sustainable use incentives. Projects must also recognise that women and girls often carry the responsibility of water collection and household water use. In impoverished or disadvantaged communities, the role of water in the community is especially gendered.
