<p>As we approach the 10-year countdown to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is clear we are far from achieving SDG 5 on gender equality, and SDG 6 on universal access to water and sanitation. While gender equality and access to safe water and sanitation are often treated as separate issues, they are deeply linked and interdependent.  </p>
<p>This paper argues that to achieve both Goals, the international community must adopt more gender-transformative approaches to water development. Improved data collection at national and sub-national levels is needed; there is also a need for increased opportunities for women’s meaningful participation in water governance. It is essential to address gendered social norms – particularly around unpaid care work.</p>
