answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2020 answer text <p>Women and girls are particularly disadvantaged when adequate water, sanitation and hygiene facilities are not available, as women bear the primary burden for collecting water. The DFID approval process screens all programmes for compliance with the International Development (Gender Equality) Act at the point of approval to assess whether a programme is likely to reduce gender inequalities. DFID water and sanitation programmes are targeted to people without access to water and sanitation, which includes marginalised people and groups. Of the water and sanitation results that have been disaggregated by gender from 2015 to 2019, DFID programmes have reached 18.6 million women.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 04/06/2020 15:34:15 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
