Women

Specifically, UAF-Africa will organize a high level panel on 23rd March during the main forum to discuss the challenges that African womn face when it comes to access, control and use of water. The panel discussions will entail conversations that uplift a critical feminist analysis of African womn’s water justice struggles. Additionally, the panel discussion will seek to center thought leadership and influence feminist action of alternative solutions to the dominant water governance challenges that African Womn face.

The session is conceived as a space for exchange between participants on the gender approach and its integration in rural sanitation policies, projects and programs.
The first step will be to present the subject and the issues it covers, to discuss the gender approach (from its institutionalization to its operationalization), and its inclusion in sanitation projects, while encouraging discussion among participants and input from the floor. A focus will be put on the Management of Menstrual Hygiene and the design of public facilities that are sensitive to it.
