UNEP International Environmental Technology Centre is pleased to announce the launch of the introduction video to the video series, GENDER AND WASTE NEXUS
The waste sector is assumed to be gender neutral, but gender inequalities and norms are embedded in almost every aspect of waste management, leading to a gendered division of labour. Yet, currently, most waste management policies are gender blind. Women are also especially under-represented in high-level decision-making positions in both the public and private sectors.
In 2020, UNEP International Environmental Technology Centre (UNEP-IETC) launched the video series, GENDER AND WASTE NEXUS, to introduce voices of women and men from Bhutan, Mongolia and Nepal on the issues of gender in waste management and how to empower women.
To share a glimpse of the video series, UNEP-IETC has just released a short introduction video. The introduction video is available on the Gender and Waste Nexus playlist of UNEP-IETC’s YouTube channel.
