W o m e n , E q u i t y a n d P a r t i c i p a t o r y W a t e r M a n a g e m e n t i n B r a z i l Public participation in resource management is regarded as a central pillar of sustainable development. Water management is a foremost example, and women globally are prime users and protectors of water.

This article establishes a methodological framework for such an inquiry, drawing on ecofeminist theory and the Brazilian concept of 'feminist transformative leadership' to consider gender, race and class aspects of participatory water management in Brazil.---
