The International Journal for Water Equity and Justice (IJWEJ)

The International Journal for Water Equity and Justice (IJWEJ) publishes critical scholarship and practice-based work at the intersection of water, equity, and justice. With a global readership spanning more than 180 countries, the journal serves as an international platform for advancing dialogue, research, and solutions to pressing water challenges.

IJWEJ is dedicated to work that promotes equitable access to water resources and environmental justice across diverse social, political, and ecological contexts. The journal addresses topics including water policy and governance, sustainable water management, and the intersections of water with gender, race, class, and other dimensions of social justice. By fostering interdisciplinary perspectives, IJWEJ seeks to create conditions for innovation and to catalyze both theoretical and applied research that responds to real-world water issues.

We are committed to publishing rigorous and impactful scholarship as well as content that is relevant to scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and newcomers alike. We seek to bring forward the voices of practitioners, and to amplify the voices of the unheard, including marginalized communities, such that their input and engagement may result in better and more sustainable solutions to global, regional, and local water issues.

The journal publishes original research articles, analyses, reviews, and commentaries, as well as multimodal contributions such as photo essays and videos. Through these varied formats, IJWEJ aims to support inclusive knowledge production and meaningful exchange across academic, policy, and practice communities.

IJWEJ welcomes submissions that advance understanding, challenge existing paradigms, and contribute to the pursuit of water equity and justice at global, regional, and local scales.
