WASH as a Social Work Priority

Bys: Selvamani, R., Mangaleshwaran, R., Lenoi, W.

"Social Work for WASH: Transforming Lives, Communities, and Equity" explores how social workers tackle the global Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) crisis. Highlighting WASH as a basic human right, the book shows how systemic barriers such as poverty, gender inequality, disability, and governance gaps in leave millions underserved. Through policy advocacy, community engagement, behavior-change strategies, and interdisciplinary collaboration, social workers empower marginalized populations, promote sustainable practices, and ensure equitable access. Linking WASH to health, education, and Sustainable Development Goals, this book demonstrates how social work drives transformative solutions that protect human dignity, reduce disparities, and create resilient, thriving communities worldwide.
