Quote:Venturing out to collect water or to simply use the bathroom — especially at night — also puts girls and women at greater risk of being sexually harassed or assaulted, jeopardizing their safety, dignity, health, and well-being. More time looking for resources can also mean less time for classroom learning, upskilling, or other personal pursuits beyond household duties. What’s worse: Some girls are forced to withdraw from school entirely when clean water and safe toilets aren’t available, undermining future opportunities.
The article goes into many other difficulties women and girls in countries with lack of access to water and plumbing endure.
