Abstract
Women are the principal water carriers in developing countries where only 46% population has household water supply. This study examines the change in the role of women in household water management over time in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, the worlds most income and water poor regions. Our study has shown that the participation of women in water accession continues to be very high as socio-cultural norms determine gendered division of tasks. It is therefore crucial to invest in household water supply infrastructure to enable women to meet their strategic gender needs and reduce gender gaps in society.
