Hi everyone, 

The SANIHUB is developing a new topic brief to strengthen gender equality in sanitation and faecal sludge management (FSM) in emergencies. This topic brief aims to support WASH practitioners with key approaches and practical recommendations for gender integration, along the continuum from gender sensitive, gender responsive to gender transformative aspects of humanitarian sanitation interventions. The brief is accompanied with a gender equality checklist with practical recommendations as well as further information and resources.

Over the next 2 weeks, we'd really like to have some discussion with you all on the draft materials and the topic. You can find the drafts at these links: 
 

•  
  
  Topic Sheet “Gender Aspects in Humanitarian Sanitation and Faecal Sludge Management (FSM)” For review.docx  
• 
  Checklist for humanitarian sanitation FSM - for review.docx  

 
Please do not insert any direct comments in the draft documents. If you have feedback please add them to the  reviewer form  or post a message on the platform.  It would be great to hear:
•Any feedback on how we can improve the brief
•How can we make the checklist more concise and user friendly
•Any case studies we can include esp on FSM
•If you have any knowledge resources that can be referenced
 
More broadly, it would be really good to hear your experience of the topic. For instance, is gender transformative change possible in a humanitarian sanitation context, how have you supported people with diverse SOGIESC around sanitation or what approaches can be useful in rebalancing gender roles in the sanitation and FSM chain?

Anyway, we hope the materials are of interest and we are really looking forward to hearing your comments or feedback

Thanks 
Sue Cavill on behalf of the SANIHUB
