WWSN - Women in Water & Sanitation Network

MISSION: Women in Water & Sanitation Network aspires to be an empowering female driven ambassador for realizing SDG 6, the rights to water and sanitation, the protection of water sources, gender equality and sustainable development that leaves no one behind. While gender-balanced work places are a key to success, the water and sanitation sector remains a male-dominated environment. Women can be as strong leaders, engineers, researchers, operators as men and they need to be equally engaged in conversations and decision making at all levels. Therefore, WWSN will focus on three objectives: 1. To provide a platform for networking and professional development 2. To work towards a safe and gender sensitive work environment 3. To increase the visibility of female professionals and celebrate their success We want to inspire women to venture into the water and sanitation sector, challenge the status quo and become change agents in a traditionally male-dominated industry.
