The connections between gender and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) are profound, and the sector is beginning to explore the integration of gender-transformative principles into WASH programming and research. Gender-transformative approaches challenge inequalities and move beyond an instrumentalist approach to gender in development interventions. Through a critical review of academic empirical studies, this paper explores the last decade of WASH-gender literature (2008–2018). Trends were visualised using an alluvial diagram. The reviewed literature was underpinned by a diversity of disciplines, yet was dominated by women-focused, water-focused studies. Although the studies addressed many important gender considerations, few studies engaged with transformational aspects of gender equality. The majority of the studies were based in rural sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, indicating opportunity to explore contextual dynamics in other areas of the global south. Lastly, the studies primarily focus on women of productive age; only a few studies touched on gender dynamics relevant for a diversity of women, and men and boys were mostly absent. Insights from this analysis can inform future studies at the intersection of WASH and gender. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to include a diversity of voices, reflect on the strengths and limitations of research disciplines, and incorporate gender-transformative concepts.

性别与水，环境卫生和个人卫生（WASH）之间的联系是深远的，该部门正在开始探索将性别变革性原则纳入WASH计划和研究的过程。性别变革方法挑战不平等现象，并超越了工具主义方法在发展干预措施中对待性别问题。通过对学术实证研究的批判性回顾，本文探讨了WASH性别文学的最近十年（2008-2018年）。使用冲积图将趋势可视化。所审查的文献以多种学科为基础，但以妇女为中心，以水为中心的研究为主导。尽管研究涉及许多重要的性别考虑因素，但很少有研究涉及性别平等的转型方面。大多数研究基于撒哈拉以南非洲和南亚的农村地区，这表明有机会探索全球南方其他地区的背景动态。最后，这些研究主要针对生育年龄的妇女。只有很少的研究涉及与妇女多样性有关的性别动态，而男性和男孩则大多缺席。这种分析的见识可以为WASH和性别之间的交汇提供参考。鼓励研究人员和从业人员发表不同意见，反思研究学科的长处和局限，并纳入性别变革概念。只有很少的研究涉及与妇女多样性有关的性别动态，而男性和男孩则大多缺席。这种分析的见识可以为WASH和性别之间的交汇提供参考。鼓励研究人员和从业人员发表不同意见，反思研究学科的长处和局限，并纳入性别变革概念。只有很少的研究涉及与妇女多样性有关的性别动态，而男性和男孩则大多缺席。这种分析的见识可以为WASH和性别之间的交汇提供参考。鼓励研究人员和从业人员发表不同意见，反思研究学科的长处和局限，并纳入性别变革概念。
