Women’s Access To Water, Sanitation and Essential Services

Water, sanitation and essential services are central to women’s security, dignity and sense of self-worth. What are the links between water, on the one hand, and a safer environment, on the other? How does the lack of access to proper sanitation impact on the quality of the lives of people, especially that of women and girls? How can public spaces be made more gender equal? In this series, with project partner Women in Cities International (WICI), supported by International Development Research Centre (IDRC) which arises from the Action Research Project on Women’s Rights and Access to Water and Sanitation in Asian Cities, we explored these concerns and bring you some innovative responses in addressing them.
