Water, women and disability study - surviving vs thriving

The Water, Women and Disability study carried out in Vanuatu's SANMA and TORBA provinces highlights the isolation and stigma experienced by several interrelated vulnerable groups: women who menstruate, women and men with disabilities, and women and men who experience incontinence. Whilst the study focused on vulnerabilities of these groups in relation to water, sanitation and hygiene, the results also exposed the negative implications of exclusion on well-being and satisfaction with life overall.
