WaterAid | Women's work?

By highlighting the uneven distribution of tasks in communities, women's burdens are being reduced.

In the Birim North District, like much of rural Ghana, women are responsible for cooking, cleaning, fetching water, bathing the children and farm work.

WaterAid believes that women must be involved in the development process, but shouldn't be over-burdened.

To try and avoid this, WaterAid helps communities identify work loads and looks at how men can share the burden of tasks traditionally seen as "women's work". This enables women to have time to take a key role in improving their lives.
