present report is organized into 6 chapters that discuss
gender concerns in different water sectors as they presently
exist and the role of the network and its demand charter.
It discusses the gender issues in the water sector as a

in the irrigation sector. It also includes discussion on
issues in the domestic water arena i.e. issues of the drinking
water and sanitation sector and the issues in the watershed
sector and the gender concerns within that. It articulates
the gender position that the Network needs to take and also
proposes a tentative charter of demands. The report looks
at the role of the WWN and proposes a broad action programme
for the Network for the coming years. |
