Women for Water Partnership : encouraging the recognition of women commitment

Women for Water Partnership, a federation gathering women associations from all over the world, tackles gender issues related to the water sector. Together with the 6th World Water Forum's Secretary, WWP co-organised two days of pre-conference activities. Their work will also be displayed on their booth in le Palais Phocéen, and through their participation to the conference about women and water. Its objective: obtain the recognition of women's work, so that they could take part in decision processes. In fact, according to the federation, only 1% of the funds allocated to development reach women associations.
