Gender & Development: Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Issue Out Now

At birth and death, and each day in between, human need for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) is near constant. While WASH is intensely personal, it is also about power, inequality, development and social justice. Contributors to the issue highlight the importance of WASH provision for women and girls in their own right, as carers for families and communities, and as key to women’s empowerment.
