Water for Women supports organisations to implement gender and socially inclusive water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) projects in South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
A collaboration between Faculty of Law and Art, Design and Architecture researchers, the project is supported by the Australian Government through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s (DFAT) Water for Women Fund.
In 2022 the project released a toolkit and policy brief designed for practitioners, policy makers, donors and government officials in the WASH space to design and deliver more inclusive and fairer water and sanitation projects and services in urban informal settlements.
