Water and sanitation
Water and sanitation facilities are the basic requirements for women but still, there is a lot of problem of water and no sanitation facilities seen measuredly in rural areas. Women have to live in unhygienic conditions which cause the threat of infection. Every house should have one toilet in the house. Some girls don’t go to school during periods because of a lack of water and sanitation facilities. Also, there should be awareness programs in schools and other institutions. Also, I have seen in local trains and normal trains women’s are breastfeeding their child and they feel very uncomfortable while doing it there should be a small room for breastfeeding bright side is that some colleges and offices have started keeping sanitary pad bank in this girls has to just drop 5 rupees coins and get the pad urgently. More than 1 billion people around the world lack access to clean water and over 2 billion people lack adequate sanitation and as 6000 children are dying each day.
In villages women have to very long to fetch the water and wash the clothes because of the scarcity of water and inadequate facilities government should look into this and take some action .water scarcity is also rising day by day. early teenage girls are not aware of pads and even why they are bleeding, this has to change they need to have knowledge about their personal sanitation. Still, they have to skip their schools. They feel unsafe while using public washrooms due to the everyday harassment they face
Even in cities working women those work on fields still doesn’t have washrooms in it, the big difficulty to find a place for toilet .many pregnant women’s have to face a lot of problem during their pregnancy they require clean washrooms hospitals but unfortunately, it is not there. We immediately require good water and sanitation for female’s health and hygiene.
