Clean water is essential for thriving communities, healthy ecosystems and a sustainable planet. Yet lack of water access, availability and quality affect billions of people and is worsening due to population growth, urbanization, increasing consumption and climate change.
WASH, gender equity and climate change are intertwined, and water resource management must be addressed holistically at the basin level.
Climate change impacts such as floods, droughts and rising sea levels pose serious consequences for vulnerable communities – especially women and girls.
Alleviating gender inequalities to water and sanitation access is critical to achieving SDG 6. The Covid-19 pandemic deepened gender inequalities in health, education and employment which are directly connected to WASH services.
