How frequently does a person worry about water? How often can they not wash their hands due to water issues? Over the past 10 years, IPR anthropologist Sera Young has collaborated with colleagues around the world to develop and validate scales for measuring lived experiences with water.
A list of 15 gender-informed, priority recommendations was released on World Water Day on March 22 by UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO) to enhance the U.N.'s current indicators for monitoring clean water and sanitation.
The WHO and UNICEF recommend using the globally validated Individual Water Insecurity Experiences, or IWISE, Scales, developed by Young and colleagues to analyze water insecurity by age and gender.
