The Hydrometeorological Directorate (DPHM) is collaborating with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to address global climate change and dangerous weather events. On March 22nd, marking World Water Day, the DPHM will focus on the theme “Water and Gender” using the slogan “Where Water Flows, Equality Grows.” This initiative underscores a critical connection. The primary goal is to emphasize the significant relationship between water, women, and gender equality.
Specifically, the DPHM recognizes that water crises often impact women and girls in a disproportionate manner. It’s vital to acknowledge women’s crucial role in managing water resources effectively. Furthermore, the organization stresses the need for women to participate equally in leadership and decision-making processes related to water.
This approach ensures a more equitable distribution and utilization of this essential resource. World Water Day is observed annually across more than 190 member countries of the World Meteorological Organization. The day serves as a global reminder of the importance of sustainable water management and the need to address inequalities in access to this vital element.
The DPHM’s involvement highlights a commitment to a more just and equitable world, recognizing water’s fundamental role in human well-being.
