- Description
- This volume focuses on women in Latin America as stakeholders in water resources management. It makes their contributions to grassroots efforts visible, explains why doing so is essential for effective public policy and planning in the water sector, and provides guidelines for future planning and project implementation. The book is divided into four parts: understanding gender and water management: neoliberal policies and their social impact: technology transfer and social organisation: participation and cultural change.

- Description
- The book comprises four parts: global discourses on gender and water: gendered water in times and places: gendered cultures and economies of water: and representations and agency of women in water. The twenty-two chapters present an array of case studies on gender and water by an international group of experts who point to the need of gender equity in water cultures, show how women's roles in water use remain hidden and how their water priorities are neglected in prevailing discourses of gender roles.

- Description
- This research has its roots in de evidence that was produced in the eighties on the detrimental impact of irrigation projects on gender equality. Why it is that irrigation development negatively affects gender equality? Out of an explicit feminist commitment, the linkages between gender (in-equality and irrigation development are explored from two different angles. The first angle consists of a critical discussion of current theories that underlie irrigation planning and policies. In many ways, these theories make it difficult to properly recognize and accommodate gender relations. At the same time they are based on an incomplete and often inadequate understanding of these relations. The second angle consists of a number of case studies undertaken in different countries (Nepal, Sri Lanka, Niger, Burkina Faso) to empirically explore how and where gender relations affect and are affected by irrigation management policies and practices.
