How Improving Access To Water And Hygiene Facilities Can Help Break The Gender Bias

Banega Swasth India team speaks with Zarina Screwvala, co-founder of the Swades Foundation on how access to water, sanitation and hygiene facilities can empower women to break the gender bias and by extension benefit their families. According to Ms Screwvala, women suffer the worst due to the lack of water and sanitation facilities as they are traditionally responsible for managing water, food, firewood and sanitation requirements of the household. She added that women are the best agents of change as they have been suffering more and so, their needs are more powerful.
