Question

which is the only river having a masculine pronoun
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Brahmaputra River is one of the major rivers of Asia, a trans-boundary river originating in China (Yarlung Tsangpo) and flowing through India and Bangladesh, with a part of the basin lying in Bhutan. Through the International RiverFoundation’s Vera Thiess Fellowship for Women, I am examining the challenges and opportunities in mainstreaming ‘women’s voices’ in the governance and management of Brahmaputra River. Why? Because gender concerns are largely absent from frameworks on managing trans-boundary waters. Building discourses around women’s understanding on rivers enables gender sensitive decision-making and leads to concerted action.
