Safe Water: The Root of Gender Equity and Empowerment - Special on World Water Day

 

Safe Water: The Root of Gender Equity and Empowerment 

Water and women, bound by fragile thread,

Where water fails, equality takes flight.

Their health, their safety, opportunities dead,

Drowned in the dark, consumed by endless night.

Water crisis is woven in her plight,

The burden borne, the journey long and hard.

Her agency, a treasure beyond compare,

Equitable voice, her purpose is fulfilled.

Empower girls, with knowledge as their tool,

Let science, farming, engineering call,

For clean streams, sanitation's golden rule,

And leaders strong, to answer one and all.
