本文介绍了2016年在越南中部开展的关于水、环境卫生和个人卫生（WASH）倡议的实证研究结果。它揭示了家庭和社区两级两性关系和权力动态的变化，旨在探讨讲卫生运动的政策和方案编制对妇女的实际利益和战略利益的影响和改变程度。我们特别感兴趣的是评估由澳大利亚国际计划和越南计划共同开发的性别和WASH监测工具（GWMT）对妇女战略性别需求的影响。在这篇文章中，我们讨论了不同年龄和种族的女性和男性报告的变化类型及其发生的原因。关于变化的原因有各种各样的报告，这对我们理解家庭和社区一级性别关系变化之间的关系有影响。我们还考虑在越南农村的背景下社会规范的更广泛的变化之间的关系。越南的研究强调了讲卫生运动在促进战略性性别需求、从而促进性别平等和赋予妇女权力方面可以发挥的作用。它还显示了同时实现可持续发展目标5（关于性别平等）和目标6（关于水和卫生设施）的重要性。
This article presents the results of empirical research conducted in Central Vietnam in 2016 into water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) initiatives. It uncovered changes in gender relations and power dynamics at both household and community levels, aiming to explore the extent to which both practical and strategic interests of women can be influenced and changed by WASH policies and programming. In particular, we were interested in assessing the impact of a Gender and WASH Monitoring Tool (GWMT), developed by Plan International Australia and Plan Vietnam, on women's strategic gender needs. In this article, we discuss the types of changes reported by women and men of different ages and ethnicities and the reasons for their occurrence. There were a wide range of reported reasons for change, with implications for our understanding of the relationship between changes in gender relations at the household and community levels. We also consider the relationship between wider shifts in social norms in the context of rural Vietnam. The Vietnam research highlights the roles that WASH initiatives can play in furthering strategic gender needs and hence promoting gender equality and women's empowerment. It also shows the importance of addressing Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 (on gender equality) and SDG 6 (on water and sanitation) together.
