Global Water Partnership Southern Africa (GWPSA) joins the whole world in celebrating International Women’s Day on 8 March 2017 under the theme: “Time is Now: Rural and urban activists transforming women's lives.”
The UN theme of this year’s International Women’s Day (IWD 2018) relates to gender equality and activism, building on global movements such as #metoo and #TimeIsNow. For the water community we translated this to “Time is now for equality in water access and management!” and followed it up by asking women in the GWP network “How can activism empower women in the water sector?” These issues were also raised in a Facebook Live session on 8 March together with GWP Partner Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI).
