This collection contains the resources for both trainers and participants for the Gender for WASH trainers workshop. This one day workshop is designed for people who facilitate Gender workshops in the WASH sector. The workshop reviews power and privilege, sex vs. gender and gender and WASH.

This lesson classifies WASH activities by gender at the household and community level, describes the relationship between gender and WASH, and explains how to create gender balance in WASH-related activities at the household level.

Facilitated by Deborah Payne (MPH and Director of Health Education for MedWater). Indigenous women in Ecuador exist within a patriarchal system that largely defines their experience as women. Kichwa women follow traditional roles in the household, preparing food, raising children, and serving as water managers. Fundacion MedWater, a non-governmental organization serving in the Amazon, has developed standards for engaging women in water and sanitation management and operations. This process has both improved the design of programming for the organization as well as improved specific WASH outcomes in communities.

This lesson focuses on the differences between sex and gender. Participants will explore how gender is directly related to WASH. Participants will also discuss how gender affects their work as Community WASH Promoters.

This document includes the gender roles activity and instructions for facilitating the activity. The gender roles activity is a participatory tool to help a group of people to discuss gender roles related to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).

These instructions explain how to facilitate the water, sanitation and hygiene gender roles activity with a group of people.
