Siete semanas para el agua 2023, semana 3: "Feminización de la pobreza del agua en el contexto de África ",la Dr. Agnes Abuom

Escrito originalmente en 2017, la tercera de las siete reflexiones de la Campaña de Cuaresma: Siete Semanas por el Agua 2023 de la Red Ecuménica del Agua (REDA) del Consejo Mundial de Iglesias (CMI) es de la Dra. Agnes Abuom, ex moderadora del comité central del CMI.

La Dra. Abuom es la primera mujer y la primera africana en desempeñar este importante cargo. También es directora ejecutiva de la organización Research and Development Consultants - TAABCO, con sede en Nairobi (Kenia). En su reflexión, tratándose de la víspera del Día Internacional de la Mujer, y siendo ella misma una mujer africana, analiza la relación entre la pobreza, la escasez de agua y sus repercusiones para las mujeres. Su reflexión se encuadra también en el contexto actual en el que Kenia está sufriendo las consecuencias de una grave sequía que no hace más que empeorar la situación de la mujer en el país, dado que las mujeres son las principales responsables de ir a buscar el agua para sus familias en la mayoría de los casos.

Sieben Wochen im Zeichen des Wassers 2023 woche 3: "Feminisierung der Wasserarmut in Afrika ", von Dr. Agnes Abuom

Die dritte der sieben Reflexionen der Fastenkampagne: Sieben Wochen für Wasser 2023 des Ökumenischen Wassernetzwerks (EWN) des Weltrats der Kirchen (ÖRK) wurde ursprünglich 2017 verfasst und stammt von Dr. Agnes Abuom, ehemalige Vorsitzende des ÖRK-Zentralausschusses .

Dr. Abuom ist die erste Frau und erste Afrikanerin, die diese bedeutende Position einnimmt. Sie ist auch geschäftsführende Direktorin der Organisation TAABCO Research and Development Consultants (Forschungs- und Entwicklungsberatung) mit Sitz in Nairobi, Kenia. In ihrer Reflexion am Vorabend des Internationalen Frauentages erklärt sie als afrikanische Frau die Zusammenhänge zwischen Armut, Wasserknappheit und deren Auswirkung auf Frauen. Sie ist auch sehr kontextbezogen, da Kenia heutzutage unter einer großen Dürre leidet, welche die Situation der Frauen verschlechtert. Letztere sind in ihren Familien vorwiegend für die Wasserbeschaffung zuständig.

Sept semaines pour la campagne l'eau 2023, semaine 3: "La féminisation de la pauvreté en eau sur le continent africain ", par Dr Agnes Abuom

Rédigé à l'origine en 2017, le troisième des sept reflets de la Campagne de carême : Sept semaines pour l'eau 2023 du Réseau œcuménique de l'eau (REE) du Conseil mondial des Églises (COE) est du Dr Agnes Abuom, ancienne modératrice du comité central 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. Une réflexion qui prend tout son sens aujourd'hui, puisque le Kenya est actuellement touché par une grande sécheresse qui aggrave la situation des femmes. En effet, ce sont elles qui, la plupart du temps, doivent approvisionner leur famille en eau.

The 4th reflection of the Seven Weeks for Water 2021 of the WCC Ecumenical Water Network is written by Krystina White.* In the following reflection, she narrates her experience of how people of colour are denied their right to clean water because of lead poisoning of tap water in Flint, Michigan (USA). She further demonstrates how ordinary women, though at the receiving end, can do extraordinary work, just like Deborah, the prophetess in the Bible.  White and her friends challenged the lead contamination of Flint’s waters through the Black Millennials 4 Flint and offered lasting solutions to communities facing the crisis.
