🎥 Description:
While waste management is often perceived as gender-neutral, our discussion will unveil the deep-seated gender inequalities and roles within this realm. Millions globally are involved in waste management, especially for high-value waste streams like plastic and e-waste. The informal sector, predominantly comprised of men and women, highlights disparities in roles and opportunities. From higher-authority positions for men to lower-income tasks for women, gender norms permeate every aspect of waste management.
