Women in Waste is one of the most marginalized groups in the world. While Gender mainstreaming has been encouraging equal opportunities for both men and women across all aspects, women are still battling with cultural, historical and religious barriers. In the waste sector, attitudes associated with stereotypes of women contribute more women to engage in the informal part, which is unpaid, minimally compensate or voluntary participation.
Our report "Gender and Waste Nexus" was highlited in the newsletter "Women in Waste" published by UN Habitat as a meaningful report which examines the relationship between gender and waste based on fieldwork in the capital cities of the three countries (Ulaanbaatar, Thimphu and Kathmandu), guidance from local partners and a synthesis of the literature available.
