Water supply and women in developing countries : ウィキペディア英語版 | Water supply and women in developing countries Water supply and women in developing countries is a complex topic, as lack of accessible, sufficient, clean and affordable water supply has adverse impacts specifically related to women in developing nations. In most countries, women are the primary household members responsible for providing water for domestic consumption.〔(Gender-Disaggregated Data on Water and Sanitation ), UN-DESA and UN-DCP, 2008.〕 The collection of water, which may take up to six hours a day to meet the household needs, is a duty often relegated to women and children. This foregone time often prevents children, especially girls, from attending school and women from pursuing small business opportunities.〔("Water and Sanitization in Developing Countries: Including Health in the Equation" ), Maggie A Montgomery and Menachem Elimelech, Yale University, 2007.〕 In 2000, the Second World Water Forum in The Hague concluded that women are the primary users of domestic water, that women used water in their key food production roles, and that women and children were the most vulnerable to water-related disasters.〔("Women and Water" ), UN Division for the Advancement of Women, 2005.〕 At the International Conference on Water and the Environment, the Dublin Statement on Water and Sustainable Development included "Women Play a central part in the provision management and safeguarding of water" as one of 4 principles. Many women's rights and water advocacy organizations have identified water privatization as an area of concern, sometimes alleging negative effects that specifically affect women.〔( "Diverting the Flow: A Resource Guide to Gender, Rights and Water Privatization" ), Women's Environment and Development Organization.〕〔("Gender, Water, and Sanitization" ), UN Water Policy Brief, 2006〕 ==Inclusion of women and the efficacy of water supply== Water supply schemes in developing nations have shown higher success when planned and run with full participation of women in the affected communities.〔, Van Wijk-Sijbesma, Christine, 1998. Gender in Water Resources Management, Water Supply and Sanitation: Roles and Realities.〕 A study including 88 communities in 14 countries showed that projects where men and women from intended user households were included in selection of site facilities, and where water projects were initiated by user households, rather than by external agencies or local leaders, achieved a final higher access to services than those that did not.〔("Linking Sustainability with Demand,Gender and Poverty" ), International Water and Sanitation Centre, 2001〕
