Gender Inequality in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene

This book, Gender Inequality in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), addresses these pressing challenges, highlighting the intricate connections between gender, WASH, and sustainable development. By examining the multifaceted impacts of gender inequality in WASH, it underscores how inadequate facilities and services not only hinder public health but also limit educational opportunities, economic participation, and community well-being. Women's disproportionate responsibility for water collection and household sanitation tasks results in time poverty, while unsafe sanitation facilities compromise their safety and dignity. The cascading effects of these disparities impede progress toward achieving global development goals, including gender equality and universal access to clean water and sanitation.The book offers a comprehensive exploration of the systemic and intersectional factors that exacerbate gender inequality in WASH. Structural barriers such as inadequate infrastructure, governance challenges, and funding limitations are analyzed alongside cultural norms and practices that shape access and usage patterns.
