IETC recently released an introduction video to its GENDER AND WASTE NEXUS video series, which introduces voices of women and men from Bhutan, Mongolia and Nepal on the issues of gender in waste management and women’s empowerment in the waste sector. The video series is now available in 5 languages on IETC’s YouTube channel.

Outreach materials on the nexus between gender and waste management in Tunisia are also to be released this year. Stay tuned!
