New AQUASTAT web page on water and gender


To improve the availability of gender-disaggregated data, a Water and gender page has been created on the AQUASTAT website. The Case study section provides the results of the AQUASTAT case study conducted in Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco on the role of women in agricultural water management. The Census section displays agricultural census reports and explains how census data could be used for sex-disaggregated data in water statistics. The National data section displays the result of gender-disaggregation of national-level data in a number of European countries. The Terminology section assembles a variety of terms relative to gender and water that are in AQUASTAT’s glossary. The Documents section presents a selection of documents, case studies, policies, guidelines and tools that are all in some way significant for gender issues in agricultural water management and data.
