Water scarcity is getting worse. The world has now moved beyond a water crisis and entered a state of “global water bankruptcy”, according to the UN. Worldwide, women and girls are the collectors and guardians of the water we drink. They are often the first to notice and feel the impact of water shortages and polluted water. But their impact isn't often felt where decisions are made.
Letter from the editor: Water is running out. Women are still being shut out
For me, the issue of water scarcity is personal. I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, where drought, hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes were treated as foregone conclusions, mostly out of our collective hands.In reality, these disasters were not inevitable, but shaped by the ways we managed our climate, land and water.

‘I've kept my books’: How water scarcity impacts girls in rural India
“I wanted to become a doctor, but I had to stop going to school,” Sangita Santosh, 14, told me while she was fetching water from a spring in Khaparmal village in Maharashtra’s drought-prone Nandurbar district in western India. This was one of the stories I heard in September last year, when I travelled to villages across the region to document how water scarcity is shaping the lives of women and girls. Sangita had wanted to continue her studies, but eventually she was forced to drop out of school.
Why water is a woman’s problem
Around 4 billion people experience severe water scarcity for at least one month every year. It’s a problem that affects everyone, but not equally. Women and girls disproportionately bear the toll, as traditional gender roles mean they are responsible for providing water in their homes for drinking, cooking and cleaning. They are the fetchers and collectors of our water. This means it is often women and girls who are first to notice and feel the impact of water shortages and polluted water.
