> > In preparation for the 3rd World Water Forum to be held in Kyoto, March
> > 16-23, 2003, we are pleased to announce Untapped Connections: Gender,
> > Water and Poverty.  This report was developed by Women's Environment and
> > Development Organization (WEDO), in consultation with several women's
> > organizations working on water and sustainable development issues in
> > different parts of the world, and with support from the United Nations
> > Population Fund (UNFPA).  The report is available for download at:
> > www.wedo.org/sus_dev/untapped1.htm
> > WEDO will be participating in the follow-up processes of the World
> > Summit on Sustainable Development and Millennium Summit.  Both of these
> > agreements offer opportunities for strengthening connections between
> > gender equity, poverty eradication, and water resources management, and
> > gender is a critical component of their implementation.
> > Untapped Connections presents an overview of the relationship between
> > gender, water, and poverty, explores women's central role in managing
> > water supply and distribution, and examines how access to water and
> > sanitation has implications for women's health, economic activities, and
> > sustainable development as a whole.
> > Central to the report is a compilation of existing commitments on
> > gender, water, and poverty in sixteen global conferences.  This will
> > serve as an important reference tool for governments, NGOs, and other
> > institutions at upcoming meetings on water and sustainable development.
