Monserrat Peña, Head of Gender and Inclusion Initiatives at the National Association of Water and Sanitation Entities of Mexico (ANEAS) presented the “Pink Helmets” initiative promoting the inclusion of women in technical areas of the water sector during the National Water Congress (CONAGUA 2025), held in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
During her presentation, she explained how water scarcity, far from being solely an environmental problem, exacerbates gender inequalities in communities where women and girls are tasked with fetching water, limiting their educational and employment opportunities and exposing them to risks of violence and health problems.
