Sustainable development is closely linked with equitable access to clean water and sanitation, which are fundamental human rights and key determinants of health, well-being, and social dignity. This study examines the role of clean water and sanitation in promoting gender dignity in rural areas of Tripura, a northeastern state of India characterized by diverse socio-cultural practices and varying levels of infrastructural development. The research highlights how inadequate water supply and poor sanitation facilities disproportionately affect women and girls, exposing them to health risks, time poverty, reduced educational opportunities, and threats to personal safety and dignity. Adopting a rights-based framework, the study underscores the need for inclusive, gender-responsive policies and community-level interventions that ensure equitable access to water resources. It concludes that recognizing women as key stakeholders in water governance is critical to advancing gender equality, health, and sustainable development in rural Tripura.
