UNICEF Water

Grateful for water—but is it enough? 💧 In Malakal, South Sudan, 45,000 displaced people rely on clean water, while healthcare & sanitation services decline. Water saves lives—but more support is urgently needed. 🔗 buff.ly/z6XOpMv #WaterAction = #ClimateAction

💧 Water is essential for life, yet inequalities continue to shape access to this vital resource. Around the world, women and girls often play a central role in collecting water for their households and communities, while remaining underrepresented in water management and leadership. This #WorldWaterDay, we call for equal participation of women in water governance, for inclusive solutions that benefit everyone. Learn more: unesco.org/en/days/world-…

Every child has the right to safe water. Aligned with the @_africanunion’s 2026 Theme of the Year on accelerating sustainable water and sanitation systems, we call on gov'ts & partners to urgently close access gaps & invest in resilient, climate-smart solutions. #WorldWaterDay

Thank you to everyone who joined and supported #WorldWaterDay this year. Together we are helping make water a force for gender equality. 💧 Because where water flows, equality grows.

The global water crisis is, at its core, a crisis for children, and especially for girls. #WorldWaterDay👇 unicef.org/press-releases…

Lifesaving water and sanitation supplies are reaching families in Sudan. Through the partnership between @UNICEF and @FCDOGovUK, this support arrives at a critical moment, helping prevent water-borne diseases for ~300,000 people. #Sudan #WASH #ForEveryChild

Girls and women carry the heaviest burden when water and sanitation systems fail. With support from the Netherlands, @UNICEF is working in communities to help ensure that girls can overcome added challenges to access services they need to stay in school. #WorldWaterDay

Menstrual health matters. By expanding and improving the quality of facilities in schools, challenging stereotypes and closing global data gaps, ASWA III supports equitable WASH policies and practices so girls have safety, dignity and equal opportunities. 💧 #WorldWaterDay #MHH

Strong WASH systems = stronger futures for girls. From developing climate‑resilient services to ensuring that women shape policies, planning, and sector monitoring in their communities, ASWA III helps water flow where it matters most. 💧 #WorldWaterDay #ForEveryChild

Girls shouldn’t spend hours collecting water. Across communities, ASWA III (funded by the Netherlands) are strengthening water, sanitation and hygiene systems so girls can learn, lead and thrive. 💧 #WorldWaterDay #GenderEquality #WASH #ForEveryChild

For Syrian girls, the return of water means more than comfort: it means time to study, play and dream again. In Al-Hasakeh, Hala and Hiba carry jerrycans each morning after years of drought and conflict left wells dry. Today, safe water is being restored. #WorldWaterDay

Up to 2.1 billion people worldwide still lack safely managed drinking water. Women & girls are primarily responsible for collecting water for households, yet continue to be excluded from water management & leadership roles. More in latest UN report: unesco.org/en/articles/gl…

Can we feed 10B people by 2050 without exhausting water resources? New @WorldBankGroup report Nourish and Flourish shows that aligning food production with water realities can: 🌾 boost yields 💼 create 245M jobs 🌍 protect ecosystems wrld.bg/ljq850YwAQ0

Access to drinking water is a basic need, but responsibility for securing it is not shared equally. The 2026 UN #WorldWaterReport, coordinated by UNESCO on behalf of UN-Water, explores the link between water and gender equality. 🔗 buff.ly/cTwkmrM #WorldWaterDay

UNICEF is grateful for Sweden’s extraordinary public & private support for children in need across Gaza. This lifesaving assistance thanks to @SweMFA, #Akelius & @Postkodlott through @unicefsverige will provide children in Gaza with vital health, learning & psychosocial support.

When water flows for women and girls, better futures for everyone will flow with it.    The global water crisis can be solved-but only if we address the unique challenges facing women and girls in accessing water.   #WorldWaterDay
