DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr Marielle Snel will present a study focused o
 n the careers of mainly women who have worked in the water\, sanitation\, 
 and hygiene (WASH) sector for more than fifteen years. Including insights 
 from experienced professionals in both humanitarian and development settin
 gs\, the study examines how women think about their careers\, identities\,
  motivations\, and leadership paths in a field often influenced by deep-ro
 oted structural and gender issues. The findings present a complex view. Wo
 men in WASH show strong commitment\, resilience\, and a sense of belonging
  to the sector. However\, they also face ongoing challenges related to gen
 der norms\, organizational structures\, and work-life balance. This practi
 cal research goes beyond basic surveys and token gender discussions. It fo
 cuses on real experiences to better understand the root causes of inequali
 ty as identified by the participants. The talk will conclude with a discus
 sion of ways to foster change and highlight recommendations from practitio
 ners that aim to create more equitable\, supportive\, and empowering work 
 environments in the WASH sector. \nSpeakers:\nDr Marielle Snel (WASH for S
 olidarités International in Yemen)
