Women are disproportionately affected by emergencies, in part because of existing gender inequalities. It is important to involve all members of the community, particularly women and girls, at all stages of emergency management programmes as they bring valuable perspectives, capabilities and contributions to the emergency response. Gender balance and active involvement of women and men in decision-making in the provision of safe and appropriate water, sanitation and hygiene programming is crucial to adapt to the specific needs and include the knowledge of the entire community.
Water is essential for life and health. In emergencies, when adequate and appropriate water, sanitation and hygiene are not available, major health hazards can result. The provision of adequate and accessible water, sanitation and hygiene therefore demands immediate attention from the onset of an emergency. However, simply providing water and sanitation facilities will not by itself guarantee their optimal use or impact on public health. Understanding gender, culture and social relations is absolutely essential in assessing, designing and implementing an appropriate water, sanitation and hygiene programme that is effective and safe and restores the dignity of the affected population.
