She Empowers!
Collaboratively creating an inclusive water and sanitation sector.
The Stronger Together! Coalition brings together a diverse array of regional and global women's networks and organizations dedicated to empowering professional women in the water and sanitation sector. Founded in 2022, the Coalition unites stakeholders from various sectors, including women-led and women-focused professional networks, civil society organizations, sector federations, government agencies, multilateral institutions, development cooperation entities, and professional associations with both regional and global reach.
The participating women’s water networks contribute complementary knowledge and expertise, addressing specific aspects of water resources or WASH systems, and actively work within particular regions. Each network comprises change-makers and leaders who drive impact at the global, regional, and local levels.
The Stronger Together! Coalition serves as a platform to amplify and strengthen the efforts of these networks, fostering collaboration and shared success.

📅 18 February 2026
🕑 15:00-16:30 CET
💻 Format: Online
🙂 WWSN members, Stronger Together! Coalition members + friends (women only)
✏️ Registration opens on Friday 13 Feb.
Inspired by the UN High-level Preparatory Meeting in Dakar, Senegal (January 2026), as part of teh Preparatory process of the 2026 UN Water Conference, we’re hosting this special virtual Meet-up. It’s a moment to reconnect with fellow participants, exchange key takeaways, and keep the energy of the Congress and the Stronger Together! Coalition alive.
What to Expect
We are delighted to welcome two inspiring speakers:
• Elizabeth A. Koch – Bridging Waters Advisory / Women in Water Diplomacy Network
• Dr. Aline Saraiva Okello – Rural Water Supply Network
They will share key reflections from Dakar and what it means for women in water as we move toward 2026, followed by small breakout conversations to connect, exchange, and look ahead together.
Who Can Join
This Meet-up is open to all WWSN members and to members of the Stronger Together! Coalition organisations, and friends – women only.
You don’t need to have attended the Dakar event to join — if you did (in person or online), bring your reflections; if not, come to listen, learn, and connect. Looking forward to seeing you online soon!
Would you like to shape the agenda for women's empowerment in the water and sanitation sector—nationally, regionally, and globally? Do you want to help steer the future of our network?
Are you eager to connect with women worldwide and make a meaningful impact on SDGs 5, 6, 8, 17, and beyond?
Join the Women in Water & Sanitation Network (WWSN) as a member—and, if you’re interested, take an active role in one of our working groups!
