Women and their right to adequate housing 2012, para. 39 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | The issue of water demonstrates clearly the relevance of taking a gender-sensitive approach. It is now well-documented that it is women, more than men, who spend precious hours of each day on water collection for themselves and their families when water is not provided at home. Cumulatively, women in South Africa alone must walk the equivalent of a trip to the moon and back 16 times each day just to supply their households with water. However, when States adopt a gender-sensitive approach to water delivery and management, the situation for women can change dramatically, and for the better. | Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living | Special Procedures' report |
