toilet
I spend more than 2 hours
every day getting water
Women and girls
People with disabilities

I have to ask my son to carry me to the toilet
People with HIV need water
and toilets close to home
People living with HIV Very poor people
Pacific voices which are rarely heard

These voices matter
• Women are the main users and custodians of WASH facilities
• Tongan women work 50% more on non-economic per week than men
• 37,000 people living with HIV in PNG
• 17% of people in the Pacific have some disability
• Most Pacific leaders and decision makers are men
• 20%-40% of Pacific households live below the basic national poverty line

• Effectiveness – better services and outcomes• Equity – equal access to services• Sustainability of interventions
Why must these voices be heard?
