Cette réflexion est menée par le Dr Agnes Abuom, Présidente du Comité central du Conseil œcuménique des Églises (COE). Il s'agit de la deuxième des sept réflexions de la campagne 2017 des Sept semaines pour l'eau, organisée par le Réseau œcuménique de l'eau (ROE) du COE.

Le Dr Abuom est la première femme et la première Africaine à occuper cette fonction importante. Elle est également la Directrice exécutive de la société de conseil TAABCO Research and Development Consultants, basée à Nairobi (Kenya). À la veille de la Journée internationale des femmes, en tant que femme africaine, elle explore les liens entre la pauvreté, la rareté de l'eau et l'impact de cette rareté sur les femmes.
