Realities of using self-administered smartphone surveys to solve sustainability challenges
To fill data gaps in human-environment systems, especially in difficult-to-access locations, novel tools are needed to collect (near) real-time data from diverse populations across the globe. Here we discuss the practicalities, constraints, and lessons learnt from six field studies using high spatial and temporal smartphone surveys in six different countries. We suggest that high spatiotemporal, self-administered smartphone surveys will produce n…
Engaging rural communities in Bangladesh to address antimicrobial resistance via the community dialogue approach
Introduction: To effectively tackle antibiotic resistance (ABR) a One Health approach is required, focusing on the human, animal and environmental sectors together, and that public education and engagement programs must be part of the overall approach. However, there has been limited research on such programs in low-/middle-income countries (LMICs). Here we describe our plans to evaluate a community-engagement program, known as the community dial…
A mixed method study of menstrual health in Spain
Introduction: Menstrual-related symptoms and disorders, particularly dysmenorrhea, significantly impact women's well-being. Dysmenorrhea, marked by painful menstrual cramps, affects up to 95% of women, leading to debilitating symptoms that interfere with daily activities and potentially signal underlying gynecological issues. Despite its prevalence, many women experience inadequate medical support and dismissive healthcare responses. Methods: Thi…
The persistence of failure in water, sanitation and hygiene programming
INTRODUCTION: Unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) causes millions of deaths and disability-adjusted life-years annually. Despite global progress towards universal WASH, much of WASH programming continues to fail to improve health outcomes or be sustainable in the longer term, consistently falling short of internal performance indicators and sometimes negatively impacting the well-being of local stakeholders. Although sector experts in hig…
Stigma and silence
This study explores contemporary views on menstruation in Spain, focusing on stigma and the social dynamics shaping menstrual experiences. Based on a national cross-sectional survey with over 4,000 participants aged 14 and older, we used a mixed methods approach combining statistical analysis and thematic coding to examine both quantitative trends and personal narratives. Results show that menstruation remains moderately stigmatised. Perceptions …
Who gets to belong?” Navigating appearance-based discrimination and transgender access to urban toilets in India
This article examines the challenges faced by transgender and gender non-confirming individuals when attempting to access sanitation in urban India. It highlights how the experiences of these individuals intersect with broader social dynamics related to appearance, which can affect people of all genders. Using an iterative and inductive approach, the study combines insights from interviews with activists, academics and government practitioners, a…

Experiences of children’s self-wetting (including urinary incontinence) in Cox’s Bazar’s Rohingya refugee camps, Bangladesh
Self-wetting is the leakage of urine, either due to the medical condition of urinary incontinence (UI), or because a person does not want to, or cannot, access a toileting facility in time. This study explored the attitudes towards self-wetting and experiences of children (aged five to 11), their caregivers, community leaders and humanitarian practitioners in the Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. We particularly focused on how wa…
Sanitation is political
The Gaza Strip is dependent on external aid to deliver basic services, including water and sanitation. Such services are not sustainable due to the Israeli occupation and the limited financial and technical capacities of service providers and the state. This paper examines the incentives of stakeholders in delivering sanitation services in the Gaza Strip through a qualitative institutional economics analysis of literature supplemented with qualit…
On a journey to citywide inclusive sanitation (CWIS)? A political economy analysis of container-based sanitation (CBS) in the fragmented (in)formal city
Rapidly growing cities face the chronic challenge of access to safe, dignified and accessible sanitation, in contexts of inequality and informality. Technological and operational innovations, such as container-based sanitation (CBS), are promoted as relatively low-cost market-based circular economy off-grid solutions to deliver citywide inclusive sanitation (CWIS). However, in the absence of evidence that CBS is delivering on these promises, this…
Understanding children’s experiences of self-wetting in humanitarian contexts
Little is known about how children in humanitarian contexts experience self-wetting. Children can wet themselves due to having the medical condition of urinary incontinence (the involuntary leakage of urine), or due to them not wanting to or not being able to use the toilet facilities available (social or functional incontinence). Self-wetting is a global public health challenge: the physical health of children can suffer; they can miss out on ed…
Sustainable sanitation jobs
Manual pit-emptying – the removal of faecal sludge from pits and tanks using hands or basic tools – is a widespread practice in Bangladesh, and in other low- and middle-income countries. Despite this, little is known about the livelihoods of pit-emptiers. This paper analyses data from six cases of pit-emptying in three cities in Bangladesh, across three different operational modes: private cooperatives, government employees and self-employed work…

Social and Environmental Justice for Communities of the Mekong River
During the mid-twentieth century the construction of hydroelectric dams in developing countries became a contentious issue in economic and political arenas. Governments and pro-damming parties, particularly those with a direct commercial interest, often consider the dams to be necessary for economic growth, as well as being in the national interest. Others directly impacted by the altered hydrology and ecology, as well as experts concerned with e…
