Three women share their stories about participation, leadership and changing roles in promoting sanitation and hygiene in Nepal, Bhutan and Viet Nam. The video was made to celebrate International Women's Day and features Mayadevi and Kaman (Nepal), Toan and Thinh (VietNam) and Tshering, Drukda, Tashi and Deschen (Bhutan).
The video is from SNV's Sustainable Sanitation and Hygiene for All Programme (SSH4A), which has been implemented by local governments and partners in 17 districts across Nepal, Bhutan, Laos, Viet Nam and Cambodia since 2008. It aims to provide one million people with access to improved hygiene and sanitation facilities by the end of 2015. As the approach aims at addressing access to sanitation for all, addressing gender issues and inequalities is key. SSH4A is a partnership between SNV, the Governments of the Netherlands, Nepal, Bhutan, Laos, Viet Nam and Cambodia in Asia and IRC with support from AusAID and DFID.

Interestingly, preliminary results show that virtually all the male and female monitoring teams members gave the same scores for the gender indicators.
