Marking the occasion of the 100th International Women’s Day, we interviewed Céline Hervé-Bazin, Liaison Officer for WssTP, on the role of women in water management. She analysed this subject whilst completing her doctorate in Information and Communication Sciences at CELSA and in a comparative study between France and Morocco after 5 years’ experience at Lyonnaise des Eaux and Lydec.

With regard to managing the resource, the relationship between women and water has been recognised since 1992, when the Dublin Declaration affirmed the “central role of women in the provision, management and safeguarding of water”. This conference was the first step towards promoting a dialogue that had existed since the diffusion of theories regarding the integration of women in development. In 2009, women’s associations and the gender approach were known and recognised. Following their strong presence at the last World Water Forum in Istanbul, they are expected in Marseilles.
