Our partners, Engineering Without Borders, Catalunya, have released “Towards an ecofeminist water policy: Notes for public-community water governance.”
“Water is an essential good for life and for many who see it and treat it as a big business. We have already seen the results of treating water as just another commodity, but what water policies could we implement with the criterion of guaranteeing the sustainability of life? Is it compatible to respect the physical limits of nature with maximizing private profits? Are there formulas beyond public and private management? What can the ecofeminist perspective contribute to the debate on water management models?” (translation from Catalan)
