Résumé:
Ce manuel contient des recommandations sur la meilleure façon d'aborder les besoins périodiques des femmes et des filles de manière sensible et efficace. Abstract:
Standard emergency latrine or bathing area designs are often not appropriate for people who menstruate, including those with disabilities, to be able to manage menstruation in a private, safe and dignified way. For example, they may not have adequate privacy or safety (e.g. internal locks, lighting, poor siting), or may overlook the need for disposal or appropriate drying spaces.
This manual presents three adaptable designs for a trench latrine block, raised latrine block and bathing block. Development of these solutions followed a user-centred approach to understand the main barriers, challenges and opportunities that WASH, and shelter practitioners perceive, when designing and implementing WASH facilities that enable women and girls to manage their menstruation. The guidance and tools developed were be based directly on this learning and recommendations from endusers (WASH & shelter practitioners).
The solutions presented in this manual are intended to be adaptable for a wide range of contexts, and therefore the design information is accompanied by guidance on how to assess the needs of the target community and local site constraints. Contents:
