During the 4th World Water Forum in Mexico City on 18 March, the WSSCC and its partners launched a new evidence report that documents the benefits of women's involvement in water, sanitation and hygiene efforts.

Entitled "For Her - It's the Big Issue: putting women at the centre of water supply, sanitation and hygiene", the evidence report chronicles multiple positive impacts - from reducing corruption, increasing transparency, better financial management - to lowering disease, raising school attendance and literacy rates, improving health and nutritional status, and reducing gender inequality and poverty.

Published by the WSSCC in collaboration with WEDC, the evidence report is supported by the Government of Norway, UNICEF and the Gender and Water Alliance.
