CREA’s Gender and WaSH Programme

The Gender and WaSH programme is designed to bring a gender, sexuality and rights-based approach to the urban sanitation ecosystem. Through a gendered analysis of the sanitation sector, CREA underscores the barriers and challenges to, as well as the opportunities for, creating a more inclusive and equitable system. 

The programme focuses on amplifying the voices of structurally excluded groups that are disproportionately affected by the lack of access to adequate sanitation facilities. CREA’s work centres on women, transpersons, sex workers, persons with disabilities and the elderly. Additionally, CREA engages with sanitation workers to better understand their challenges and advocate for improving their safety and working conditions and eradicating manual scavenging.

CREA works as a virtual resource hub to build the capacity of key actors in the WaSH (water, sanitation and hygiene) sector, including civil society organisations, urban local bodies, sanitation workers, WaSH committee members and others, and offer strategic guidance on how to incorporate a gender and intersectional lens in programme implementation.
