2,7 million people die every year from lack of sanitation.​

Policy / Call for Action: 
  • Finance and access to technology needs to reach women directly; methodology changes for allocation of funding are needed
  • Vocational training, resilience training is a must especially for (adult) women; it needs to include examples of successful local actions (belief the women) and alternatives - so their existing actions can be acknowledged and upscaled.​  
Initiatives: 
  • UNESCO-WWAP led “Unlocking the Power of Gender Equality in the Water Domain and bridging the gap through a Multi-stakeholder Call for Action” Call for Action to Accelerate Gender Equality in the Water Domain (unesco.org)
  • Continue the work of the Stockholm Environment Institute together with Women for Water and regional partners to further explore and enhance the role of women in the water – climate nexus
