Furthermore, each year on March 22, it’s World Water Day. This year’s observance focuses on the theme “Water and Gender: Where water flows, equality grows”. The day highlights the importance of fresh water, sustainable management, and the need for inclusive water governance.
The theme for this year’s program is “Water and Gender: Where Water Flows, Equality Grows,” with a specific focus on women’s leadership and equality. The goal is to highlight the global water crisis and promote action for Sustainable Development, which is encapsulated in SDG Goal 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.
