women’s voices must be heard at
national and international levels if global equity is to prevail in a water-scarce world.
That is 100% true!

Good article, I think women are often the main users and managers of water resources in the arabic countries and they can play a significant role in the water issue

Enabling women to have a meaningful voice in decision-making provides an opportunity to include their distinctive knowledge, diverse perspectives and experiences to facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of relevant water issues and challenges and to identify a broader set of equitable solutions to those challenges.

At the national policy level, women representatives can help design more inclusive policies and raise issues that might have been otherwise neglected. Increasing the number of women in local water committees is a great first step, but women's leadership nationally and internationally would likely result in even greater benefits.

If Tunisia managed to achieve this breakthrough, it will divert Tunisia's economy and country's future to a prosperous one. I think we shall all watch closely this move.
