Gender, Water and Climate Change (2009)
-
Climate change is a reality, and poses a serious long term threat to society and to the environment. Water is particularly threatened by climate change. With rising temperatures, changes in runoff patterns and increased water evaporation, climate change will greatly affect the distribution of the world’s water and the timing of flows. Such challenges of climate change are not gender neutral. Women and men have different vulnerability and capacity to adapt to climate impacts due to differing roles, opportunities, and access to resources. This folder gives an overview of key challenges and concludes with recommendations for policy and practice.

Making Sustainable Sanitation work for Women and Men (2009)
-
This publication jointly authored by Women in Europe for a Common Future (WECF) and Gender and Water Alliance (GWA), is meant to give background information on the pressing need to integrate a gender perspective into the efforts to promote safe and sustainable sanitation. The document provides guidance on how to mainstream gender into this sector. Access to safe toilets and sustainable sanitation are essential to ensure the health of citizens. It limits the health and economic burden of preventable illnesses, is a prerequisite for ensuring education for all, and for the promotion of economic growth in the poorest countries and regions of the world.

Tutorial for Water Managers: Why Gender Matters (2014)
-
Together with CapNet GWA has developed a self learning tool for water professionals and others interested in or responsible for managing water resources. This was published first in 2006, and has now been revised and updated.
The tutorial wants to show how addressing gender will improve efficiency of water use and environmental sustainability. Therefore this tutorial first deals with the general concepts of gender and gender mainstreaming and then specifies to look at the following water sectors: drinking water, sanitation, agriculture and environment (including climate change). But apart from the "why" the tutorial also deals with the "how" of gender mainstreaming. To this end a quick-guide has been included at the beginning of the Tutorial, and in every chapter references and links to manuals, tools, resource centres and case studies are included.
