Connecting Gender and Water Justice: A Zine

March 21, 2025

Just Waters

Created by the student research assistants in the Just Waters project, this zine is in commemoration of Women’s Month and World Water Day in 2025, with the aim of connecting water justice and gender equality. The pieces included in the zine were created to celebrate the role of women in protecting water systems, and to call for stronger connections between environmental and gender advocacy.

This zine features the work of the Onaman Collective, which is formed by Indigenous artists Isaac Murdoch and Christi Belcourt. These banners were created for use in actions related to water and land protection. Read more about the banners here.
