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.

Gender Mainstreaming in the UN-Habitat "Water for African Cities" Programme
-
In the second phase of the UN-Habitat "Water for African Cities Programme", GWA has assisted UN-Habitat in developing and implementing the gender mainstreaming strategy in the seventeen African cities that participated in this programme. GWA facilitators in each of these cities supported the organization of stakeholder platforms who together with utilities, civil society organizations, government departments and residents, developed comprehensive city Rapid Gender Assessment Reports. This process led to the development of work plans for most of the cities, which have the scope for actual change on the ground for many poor women, children and men.
