Water for All: Inclusive and Equitable Clean Water Supply and Safe Sanitation for Women and Girls
Channel: Asian Development Bank
Date: 2022-02-25

Access to safely managed drinking water and sanitation services is an issue across Asia and the Pacific. This lack of access and services acutely and disproportionally affects women and girls.

ADB’s Strategy 2030 includes poverty reduction and gender equality as key operational priorities. Through our partners, ADB specifically targets and provides access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation facilities free of cost to female-headed households, and poor and vulnerable households.
