We are delighted to invite you to attend the launch of the Practitioner’s Toolkit on Violence, Gender and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). Although the lack of access to appropriate WASH services is not the root cause of violence, it can lead to increased vulnerability. This toolkit is intended to help WASH and associated practitioners to better recognise the risks of violence linked to WASH and to encourage WASH practitioner's to recognise their capacities to make WASH safer and more effective.
The toolkit will be launched with a keynote address from DFID Head of Human Development Jane Edmondson and an address by WaterAid Equity and Inclusion Advisor Louisa Gosling. Lead authors Sarah House and Sue Cavill will present the toolkit, and a panel discussion will follow with leading experts from the global WASH, gender and gender based violence communities of practice, including from the co-publishing organisations UNICEF, Plan International and the International Rescue Committee. We hope that you can join us for a drinks reception afterwards.
The toolkit has been prepared by Sarah House, Suzanne Ferron, Dr Marni Sommer and Sue Cavill on behalf of WaterAid with contributions from a wide range of actors. It has been funded by DFID through the SHARE Consortium and has been co-published by 27 organisations (see below). The initial print run has been co-funded by the International Medical Corps. A flyer on the toolkit can be downloaded from the following link: http://violence-wash.lboro.ac.uk/flyer/
Seating is limited to 100 places, so we would request that you register as soon as possible (free of charge).
Please inform Joanna.Es...@lshtm.ac.uk if you have registered but are no longer able to attend, so that your seat can be reallocated.
