💧 The global water crisis affects everyone, but not equally. Women and girls play a central role in water, yet remain underrepresented in decision-making and leadership. Inclusive water governance is essential to build resilience and ensure safe water for all. Through its global programmes, UNESCO supports countries in advancing gender equality in water management. unesco.org/en/days/world-…

💧 This #WorldWaterDay highlights a critical imbalance. In many communities, securing water still falls disproportionately on women and girls. The 2026 UN #WorldWaterReport, coordinated by @UNESCO on behalf of @‌UN_Water, explores how addressing these disparities strengthens water governance and resilience.
