Abstract:
Generally, poor lighting may contribute to fear of crime and specifically Gender-Based Violence (GBV), which may, in turn, further reduces the use of the WASH facilities. Improving lighting is intended to mitigate GBV, promote feelings of safety, and increase usage of WASH facilities. There is a clear call for lighting, especially of latrines and specifically in relation to feelings of safety for women and girls. What is less clear is what form this lighting should take to be effective and efficient.

This literature review is part of a Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) funded research project, conducted by Oxfam and the Water, Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) on lighting for safer sanitation. This project aims to provide some evidence for the sustainable interventions, based on a review of existing knowledge and good practice in humanitarian contexts. This review has the specific aim of reviewing existing literature on lighting, fear of crime and sanitation use in camp settings.
