Abstract

The chapter delves into the often overlooked gender dynamics within waste management systems, emphasizing the need for gender equality to achieve sustainable waste practices. It introduces the Integrated Sustainable Waste Management (ISWM) approach, which considers environmental, socio-cultural, institutional, and legal aspects. The text explores key themes connecting gender and waste, such as the gendered definition of waste, division of responsibilities, community-based initiatives, and policy and practice. By examining these themes through the ISWM framework, the chapter offers a nuanced understanding of how gender influences waste management and vice versa. It concludes by underscoring the importance of gender mainstreaming in waste management to ensure environmental protection and gender equality.
