| There is a renewed global commitment to 'water for all'. Yet even though women are usually responsible for domestic water provision, their needs and voices continue to be marginalized in the development process. A close analysis of current policy and practice shows that organizations providing improved water supplies to poor communities typically neglect the gendered nature of access to and control over water resources. The resulting gender bias causes inefficiencies and injustices in water provision and reduces the effectiveness of well-meant efforts. This book shows how, in different environmental, historical and cultural contexts, gender has been an important element in water provision. It draws on a wide range of first-hand material, analyzed from different disciplinary perspectives. Case studies include analysis of the role of water in inhibiting the fight against HIV/AIDS in southern Africa, and the challenges of taking gender into account in large water projects in India and Nepal. Cosmology, Gender and Material Culture in the Appropriation of Water Resources (Veronica Strang); The Role of Water in an Unequal Social Order in India (Deepa Joshi and Ben Fawcett); Women and the Social Production of Water in Anglophone Cameroon (Ben Page); Water Supply, Social Relations, Ethnicity and Livelihoods in central Sudan (Anne Coles); Gender Mainstreaming in the Water Sector in Nepal (Shibesh Regmi); The Challenge to Internations NGOs of Incorporating Gender (Tina Wallace and Pauline Wilson); Misunderstanding Gender in Water: Addressing or Reproducing Exclusion (Deepa Joshi); Enabling Women to Participate in African Smallholder Irrigation Development and Design (Felicity Chancellor); Water and AIDS: Problems Associated with the Home Based Care of AIDS Patients on a Rural Area of Northern Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa (Anne Hutchings and Gina Buijis); Gender and Poverty Approach in Practice: Lessons Learned in Nepal (Umesh Pandy and Michelle Moffat); Easier to Say, Harder to Do: Gender, Equity and Water (Sarah House). | |
