Happy International Women’s Day!
As we celebrate , it is important to note that women are disproportionately impacted by the inequality in access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). For instance, ‘in 80% of households with water shortages, women and girls are responsible for water collection. This often means travelling long distances and carrying heavy loads, in some cases with a high risk of violence. The time required can pull girls out of school and leave women with fewer options to earn an income.’ (UN Women, 2022)
