Her basics.
All women and girls should be able to claim their right to water and sanitation, with the aim of gender equality and just and sustainable solutions.
We focus on improving these situations in regions of Africa and Asia. Women and girls are our priority, and their needs and voices are at the centre of everything we do.

Menstrual health
Menstruation is still a taboo. Because it’s not talked about openly in Asian and African regions, many women and girls are uninformed about their menstrual cycle.
Maternal health
Millions of women globally lack access to adequate maternal healthcare. As a result, hundreds of women die of health problems during pregnancy and childbirth every day.
Bodily integrity
In some parts of Africa and Asia, it is common for girls to marry young. They don't have the right to decide about their own body, just like women who are sexually assaulted or exploited.
Water & sanitation
Women and girls are disproportionately affected by poor water and sanitary facilities.
Hygiene
Good hygiene is vital to living a healthy and dignified life. Thousands die every day because of a lack of hygiene, which is why basic hygiene practice and knowledge is at the core of our work.
