🤝WRc's Head of Academy, Nicola Richter, participated in today's WaterWoman roundtable in the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE), Westminster, London, organised by WaterRising Institute and British Water. 🌎Now is a pivotal moment for promoting gender equality in the global water sector. Water insecurity disproportionately impacts women and girls, who are also underrepresented in leadership roles, making it crucial to support their inclusion and empowerment. 🌟WRc supports the implementation of the United Nations Women’s Empowerment Principles and embraces the ethos of inclusive training and opportunities for women and girls across the globe. 💡Nicola enjoyed engaging in discussions, contributing her insights to help foster a more inclusive water workforce and reinforcing her passion for knowledge partnerships. 🔍Read more about Accelerating Women's Inclusion in Water here: https://bit.ly/46hSSWn Lila Thompson MIEx (Grad), Charles Shachinda, Martin Driscoll, Louise Parry FCIPD, Prof. (Dr) Anusha Shah, Gabrielle Mandell, Angela Day,Antoinette Maiella FCIPD Ruby Jolliffe, Alicia Douglas, Natalia Talkowska, Dan Byles, Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, Energy & Utility Skills, Arcadis, Institute of Water, Market Operator Services Limited (MOSL), MWH Treatment, Vallum Associates, Natalka Design, UnifAI Technology, United Nations #WaterWomanRoundtable #WaterWomanProject #WomeninWater #genderequality #SDG5
