WaterAid se unió a la conferencia Women Deliver porque las voces de las mujeres son fundamentales para obtener baños y fuentes de agua seguros, privados, accesibles y funcionales para todos. A lo largo de la conferencia y los eventos asociados, mostramos cómo el agua, el saneamiento y la higiene (WASH) son fundamentales para hacer frente a la desigualdad de género y garantizar el poder y la autonomía de las mujeres y las niñas en todo el mundo.
