Paragraph
Gender equality in the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation 2016, para. 76
- Paragraph text
- Likewise, structural gender inequalities have an inevitable impact on the enjoyment of the rights to water and sanitation. Any approach to overcoming gender inequalities in respect of the rights to water and sanitation must therefore address women's strategic needs, including the eradication of harmful gender stereotypes, alongside interventions that focus on the implementation of women's material needs, such as adequate menstrual hygiene facilities. Although such a transformative approach that challenges social norms, stereotypes and intra-household patterns may take time, it is required in order to ultimately achieve gender equality in the enjoyment of the rights to water and sanitation.
