Various organizations have joined hands at the Fifth World Water Forum in Istanbul to form the Women and Gender Coalition (WGC). This is convenient for mainstreaming gender, and for organizing the Major Group Women. The Women and Gender Coalition is confident that the 5th World Water Forum will again result in significant steps forward to gender inclusive and participatory IWRM and WATSAN.
