Capital: The Tool Women Need for Water
by The Daily Eye Team June 29 2016, 11:12 am Estimated Reading Time: 0 mins, 35 secsLack of access to clean water and sanitation facilities affects women and girls most. Jennifer Schorsch, president of Water.org, explains how it is women who step up to solve the problem themselves. More than 2 billion people don’t have safe and easy access to toilets, places to wash their hands and other sanitation facilities required for a healthy life – and one out of every 10 people doesn’t have clean water for drinking and cooking. Women and girls are affected most: without access toilets at school, girls risk cutting their education short, and without access to toilets at home, girls and women of all ages risk becoming victims of violence.
