Gender and Water Inventory
-
There are many policy documents, acts, research papers, case studies, books, guidelines, and toolkits that are relevant to the water sector and the different users in Bangladesh. GWAPB maintains an inventory of these documents and publications, specific to the context of Bangladesh, reviews the information with a gender-sensitive lens, lists the sources, and provides this information in an accessible and user-friendly format for reference of the public, through our online Gender and Water Inventory (GWI).
The GWI is a living inventory to be updated on a regular basis. In case you want to add a document, please mail to secretariat (ad) gwalliance.org.

Gender and Water Poverty: Salinity in Rampal and Saronkhola, Bagerhat
-
The NGO Voice of South Bangladesh conducted a study in two unions of Bagerhat district, in the Coastal Belt, where salinity is increasing as a result of various factors, amongst them: climate change and global warming resulting in sea water rise, and the large dam in India that withholds the water in the dry season and opens the gates in the monsoon. Shrimp cultivation is a third factor. Both poor women and men suffer from the saline water, but women more: they are responsible for water and hygiëne in the household, and for their reproductive duties. So much water everywhere, but drinking water is far away or expensive. In the paper the findings are analysed from an empowerment perspective. Different categories of people are interviewed.

Political Empowerment of Women in the South West IWRM Project
-
The South West Area Integrated Water Resources Planning and Management Project (SWAIWRPMP) was supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (EKN) with a substantial grant from January 2006 until June 2015. In the project a concerted effort was made to involve women, and it is said that due to the project’s interventions the political empowerment of women has increased to such levels, that more women are elected in the Union Parishad. The Gender and Water Programme Bangladesh (GWAPB) undertook a field study to investigate whether and how this project has contributed to empowerment of women in the area, especially in the political dimension.
