Water, women, and work: A gendered analysis of resource scarcity
Authors
Yaser Irfan, Lokesh Kumar Dogra
Abstract
Water scarcity is a growing global concern, with profound implications
for gender relations and socio-economic development. This paper investigates
the gendered dimensions of water scarcity, focusing on how limited access to
water disproportionately affects women’s roles, responsibilities, and
opportunities for economic and social mobility. Through a sociological lens,
the study explores how traditional gender roles intersect with systemic
inequalities, particularly in rural and underdeveloped regions. Using
qualitative and secondary data from global reports and case studies, the
research highlights how water scarcity exacerbates the unpaid labor burden on
women, limits their educational and professional opportunities, and reinforces
patriarchal power structures. The paper concludes with policy recommendations
aimed at integrating gender-sensitive approaches into water governance and
resource management.
