Women, equity and participatory water management in Brazil - Andrea Moreas and Patricia E Perkins

Public participation in resource management in regarded as a central pillar of sustainable development. Water management is a foremost example, and women globally are prime users and protectors of water. Yet the effectiveness of participatory water management practices is seldom examined from a feminist perspective. This article establishes a methodological framework for such an inquiry, drawing on ecofeminist theory and the Brazilian concept of 'feminist transformative leadership' to consider gender, race and class aspects of participatory water management in Brazil.
