| Summary: | Safe sanitation makes great contribution to public health and societal well-being,
but disparities in sanitation access still exist, especially in urban settings where
challenges are even more pronounced. This research investigates the influence of
gender, socioeconomic status, and empowerment on access to sanitation in Central
Jakarta, Indonesia. From a survei with 450 residents, it was found that men are
considerably more empowered. This would also provide them with more
opportunities in community, which will empower men to transform their sanitation
conditions. On the other hand, women's options and choices are constrained by
their traditional roles and economic dependence. The analysis shows that access to
sanitation is positively related to empowerment, though socioeconomic conditions
also play a role. Socioeconomic status proves to be a stronger determinant of
access to sanitation than gender, which further outlines the intricacies of urban
sanitation issues. The findings provide support for policies toward gender equity
and economic parity, ensuring inclusive access to sanitation and consequently
empowering marginalized communities. A holistic approach will enhance health
outcomes and social equity in urban areas.
