S2E16 - It's Hard to Be What You Can't See: How to Get More Woman in Water? - a podcast by Antoine Walter

with 🎙️ Ulrike Kelm - Chair of the Woman in Water and Sanitation Network

💧 The Woman in Water and Sanitation Network is an active ambassador for gender equality, connecting and empowering female professionals, expanding women’s career opportunities, and increasing their visibility.

🍏 How regulations and strong incentives might be the only ways to overcome the gender imbalance

🍏 How networking leverages our social nature to bring the necessary support to every woman water professional to achieve herself

🍏 How the full talent pool (regardless of gender considerations) will be needed to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals
