Gender equality is a theme of this year's #WorldWaterDay and a cross-cutting theme of Slovenia's water diplomacy. When women and girls have equal voice in water decisions, solutions become more inclusive, sustainable and effective. Gender inclusion strengthens resilience and cooperation. #Where water flows, equality grows".

Letošnji #Svetovnidanvode se osredotoča na enakost spolov. To je tudi presečna tema slovenske vodne diplomacije, ker verjamemo, da enakopravno sodelovanje žensk in deklic v odločanju na področju vode vodi v bolj vključujoče, trajnostne in učinkovite rešitve. Enakost spolov krepi odpornost in sodelovanje. #Where water flows, equality grows"  #WorldWaterDay
