Women are half the world’s population, and economy. As they lift communities and countries, they deserve sustainable access to safe, quality and affordable sanitation, hygiene and menstrual health, wherever they may be. I am proud to lead the UN's Sanitation and Hygiene Fund (SHF) to bring a much-needed gender investment lens into sanitation, hygiene and menstrual health financing, putting women's agenda and agency first to create an inclusive, sustainable and gender-equal future for all.
