Traveling Exhibit

Together with IW-Learn, GWA started a traveling Exhibit in May 2005. The main objectives of this project are:

• to raise awareness about gender and water issues
• to strenghten capacity in community-based groups and organisations to address gender equity in integrated water resource management

To do so an artistic exhibiton is produced in the form of a visual storybook that will compare and contrast gender and water stories from GEF IW project regions around the world. This portable and dividable exhibit is generated through new interactions between the GEF and Gender & Water Alliance communities.

The exhibit was shown in 9 different countries in Latin America being: Brasil (where it was exhibited at several occasions), Costa Rica, El Salvador, Colombia, Bolivia, Jamaica, Panama, Mexico and currently Argentina, the panels were also displayed in Canada for the climate change conference. In each country where the exhibit was at display a panel about the local gender and water relations was added.

The exhibit will continue in Africa continent where it will be adapted to the African context. Also here the intention is to display it in several countries.
