On World Water Day, we all are being challenged to recognize how the water crisis affects women: “On World Water Day 2026, let’s explore the critical relationship between water, women, and gender equality.”
This international event dates back to 1992 when the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development made a recommendation. The following year, 22 March was established as World Water Day. UN-Water sets the theme each year. The global water crisis affects everyone – but not equally. Women must shape the future of water. Where water flows, equality grows.
“Water can be a powerful force for gender equality — but only if everyone plays their part. Individuals, schools, organizations, companies and governments all have a role to play to ensure that where water flows, equality grows.”
