By 2025, two-thirds of the world’s population could be facing water shortages.
By 2030, the world will face a 40% gap between water supply and demand. According to the most recent forecasts, drought could put up to 700 million people at risk of displacement.
By 2040, China, India, the US and the Mediterranean River Basin will be among the worst hit by water-stress.
By 2050. Water shortages could affect 5 billion people.
On average, women spend a collective 200 million hours every day collecting water.
The time spent doing so often keeps girls out of school and out of the labour market.
It often leads to musculo-skeletal damage, and walking long distances, often by themselves, puts these women and girls at risk of gender-based violence.
At least 500 million women and girls lack adequate water and sanitation infrastructure for menstrual hygiene management, keeping them out of school or away from work due to a lack of facilities and associated stigma.
The UN is calling on all parties to embed gender equity into policy at all levels to achieve water and sanitation for all.
