About International Rivers

International Rivers is a global organization with more than 35 years of work and regional offices in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The group works so that riparian communities and people affected by dams have their voices heard and their rights respected. International Rivers helps create active and well-instrumented networks of civil society groups and conducts independent, investigative research to protect rivers and defend the rights of communities that depend on them. https://www.womenandrivers.com

About Oxfam

Oxfam is a global movement of people who are fighting inequality to end poverty and injustice. Across regions, from the local to the global, we work with people to bring change that lasts. In Asia, Oxfam implements Regional Programs on Water Governance in the Mekong River Basin and South Asia River Basin. The Programs built on over two  decades of experience in working on fair sharing of natural resources, with a special focus on gender equality, disability and social inclusion, promotes women in leadership and feminist for transformational change. The work focuses on strengthening civil society and empowers communities, so that more farmers and fisherfolk in the Mekong region will fully realize their rights to secure and sustainable livelihoods.
