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.
Let's meet at the 2025 Stockholm World Water Week with the Stronger Together! Coalition Members and Partners.

Inspired by the 2025 Global Water Operators’ Partnerships Congress held in Bonn this October, 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’re thrilled to have two inspiring women opening the session:
• Kathryn Pharr – CWIW / Stronger Together! Coalition
• Sareen Malik – Sanitation and Water for All (SWA)
They’ll share insights on networking, personal resilience, and navigating professional spaces with purpose.
Afterward, we’ll move into small group conversations (2–3 people) for open and personal exchanges:

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?
