description:

Establishing WASH facilities for women at the farms increases willingness of women to invest more hours in work

context:

The project “The Decent Work in Jordan’s Floriculture Sector project” aimed to increase the employability of women through the technical training in floriculture sector and OSH. It was learnt during the inception phases that the farms do not have wash rooms for women. Thus women usually spent 2-3 hours at work and had to leave as there was no a wash room. The project installed caravans equipped with toilets where women could change their clothes, rest and take meals

success:

Women appreciated new gender-sensitive facilities and start working around 4-6 hours a day. They also considered farms a good place for personal and professional development

challenges:

Not observed

administrative_issues:

To the Programme Department – to continue this practice of allocating specific budget to support the needs of men and women
