Abstract

Regarding water and sanitation, due to inadequate services and their maintenance, sustaining households has consumed the lives of women and girls, reducing time for education, livelihood opportunities or leisure. The presentation documents the project, its key findings, safety and security issues. The gender implications of inadequate services means public and private spheres merge: household chores spill over into the streets and drains; no lavatories for women produce fear, harassment and shame with loss of control of time and space. The project provided opportunities for influencing policy, and empowerment of groups including women, youth and displaced communities.
