Fluid Bonds puts on a gender lens while looking at water, makes gender visible in the various ways water is dealt with, questions how these ways affect gender and how gender affects views on water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDevelopment experts observe the connections between poverty, access to resources and sanitation and health of women and children, thus, in water, we see an othering, as though the problems (seen as mainly related to poverty) have been sorted out gender-wise in developed countries; as if problems with water are problems with water are problems only for developing countries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGendered realities of poverty and water are such that no one can possibly deny them; the case studies included in Fluid bonds illustrate various issues: of rights, of access, of health and sanitation, of women bearing the burden of the impacts of faulty policies, or of being excluded from the sustainability agenda, of being given solutions from the top, and so on. Many other critiques of current water management structures, particularly with regard to gendered values and perceptions are arising, and the chapters in this book provide a range of such examples. The steams of hydrofeminisms presented in the book provide many common grounds created by the universal nature of water itself. In Fluid Bonds, we begin to identify multiple and changing relationships and commonalities that can be mapped out in gendering water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFluid Bonds brings together a group of experts from a wide range of methodological approaches and understandings on gender and water.
