It shows how the intersection of gender, caste and water issues determine allocation and access to water at the household level, in a village influenced by rapid urbanisation. Relying on a primary survey that collected gender and caste disaggregated data, this paper shows socially differentiated perceptions for water access and use and how they shape vulnerability to water insecurity and adaptation. The gender and caste inequity in access to water in the village is not an isolated case but part of the larger process of 'apolitical' water reforms in India that chooses to ignore gender and caste inequalities and therefore misses to reach the last person. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/50361 Title: A Handbook on Women's Safety Audits in Low-income Urban Neighbourhoods: A Focus on Essential Services Authors: Mehrotra, Surabhi Tandon; Khosla, Prabha; Travers, Kathryn (WICI); Jagori Team Abstract: Jagori has been working to address different forms of violence against women (VAW) for over twenty-five years.

Drawing upon two decades of research and grassroots action on safer cities for women and everyone, this book is about the right to an inclusive city. The first part of the book describes the challenges that women face regarding access to essential services, housing security, liveability and mobility. The second part of the book critically examines programs, projects and ideas that are working to make cities safer. Building Inclusive Cities takes a cross-cultural learning perspective from action research occurring throughout the world and translates this research into theoretical conceptualizations to inform the literature on planning and urban management in both developing and developed countries. This book is intended to inspire both thought and action. 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/50077 Title: Trabajadoras por la ciudad : aporte de las mujeres a la gestión ambiental de los residuos sólidos en América Latina Authors: Riofrío Benavides, Gustavo; Cabrera Espinoza, Teresa 2012-08-01T00:00:00Z http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/47973 Title: Gender and essential services in low-income communities : report on the findings of the action research project “Women’s Rights and Access to Water and Sanitation in Asian Cities” Editors: Travers, Kathryn; Khosla, Prabha; Dhar, Suneeta 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z
