On World Water Week 2026, FH Cambodia calls upon communities, local authorities, civil society organizations, and development partners to promote women’s meaningful participation in water governance and decision-making. By empowering women as leaders and change agents, we can create more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable water systems that benefit everyone.
Key actions include promoting:
Women as essential stakeholders, leaders, and decision-makers in water management.
Equal participation of women to strengthen governance and the sustainability of WASH services.
Reduced burdens of water collection, creating greater opportunities for education, livelihoods, and leadership.
Gender-inclusive WASH services that improve health, dignity, safety, and resilience for communities.
“When women have a voice in Water Use Management Committees, communities gain stronger solutions, healthier families, and a more sustainable future.”
