Checklist for Integrating Gender Equality in Humanitarian Sanitation and Faecal Sludge Management (FSM)

The checklist for integrating gender equality into humanitarian sanitation and faecal sludge management (FSM) highlights the urgent need to address the unique challenges faced by women and girls in emergencies. Despite international commitments, many women avoid latrines in humanitarian settings, exposing them to health risks and gender-based violence. This tool aids WASH practitioners in embedding gender equality across all program phases—from pre-emergency to recovery—ensuring inclusive, transformative sanitation practices that empower women, embrace diversity, and advance equity in crisis contexts.
