\u201cAs a mother, I never found myself thinking that my youngest child should get no food because it is too costly. It is unacceptable that sometimes we still ignore some voices in development because it makes no economic sense to listen. Water policy and management is essentially caring for people\u2019s wellbeing. It needs to go beyond logic: it must have heart and compassion. The only way forward is for EVERYONE to realize we MUST listen to the ideas, voices, and concern of people from ALL genders and work TOGETHER in mutual standing, respect, and support.\u201d
