Women's Major Group
At the 5th World Water Forum, women’s organizations and gender mainstreaming organizations from across the globe played a very active role. The majority of them were working together as the Women and Gender Coalition.
Through this Coalition and other women's organizations, about 150 (women's) organizations and others working on water, sanitation, women and gender issues were represented at the Forum. Approximately 30 of these organizations were directly involved in activities during the Forum and/or it's preparatory process.
The experiences and needs of women were brought into the discussions, information about successful gender and equity mainstreaming approaches shared, and the importance of empowering women and balancing gender roles were highlighted.
