Women and water management: A policy assessment—A case study in An Giang Province, Mekong Delta, Vietnam.

All research describing fear or experience of non-partner physical violence focused on sanitation, while all articles focusing on intimate partner physical violence and most focusing on interpersonal conflict focused on water.

“All research describing fear or experience of non-partner physical violence focused on sanitation, while all articles focusing on intimate partner physical violence and most focusing on interpersonal conflict focused on water (_((((xxx))))_)[61, 62, 76, 86, 89, 101, 110, 111, 123, 135, 143, 144, 171, 173-175, 177, 179, 181, 182, 188, 189, 191, 198, 201, 243, 251, 255, 257, 258, 260, 262, 264, 266,”

Inadequate water provision and collection behaviors were reported to influence intimate partner violence, including violence from husbands for not providing water for bathing, not having water in the home, going to cleaner water sources considered too far, not preparing food on time, or attending water-focused community meetings.

“Inadequate water provision and collection behaviors were reported to influence intimate partner violence [26,75,101,108,111,153,165,179,198,231,260,264,266].Women reported violence from husbands if they did not provide water for bathing needs (Kenya, [198] Ethiopia, [108] Vietnam, [111] Cameroon [231]), did not have water in the home (East Africa [179]), went to cleaner water sources considered”

Women qualitatively reported perceived linkages between various illnesses and their water and sanitation environments, including diarrhea, vomiting, dysentery, cholera, hepatitis, schistosomiasis, and skin diseases due to polluted water, and diarrhea due to limitations on hygiene in times of water scarcity.

“Women reported experiencing or fearing diarrhea, vomiting, dysentery, cholera, hepatitis, schistosomiasis, and skin diseases due to polluted water, [65,70,86,111,144,177,178,197,199,214,220,225,231,248,259,273,288] and experiencing diarrhea due to limitations on hygiene in times of water scarcity [70,123,202].”

Constraints on women's time limit access to safe water or resources needed to treat or boil water; women also spend considerable time caring for family members ill with water-related diseases.

“Constraints on women's time limit access to safe water or resources needed to treat or boil water [92,118,197,199,208]. Women also spend considerable time caring for family members ill with waterrelated diseases [26,63,111,177,193,239,240,248,259].”
