- Each year, women and girls around the world collectively spend 200 billion hours collecting water
- This time could be spent on other activities important to these women and girls - school, education, caring for sick loved ones, producing an income
- The health effects of collecting the water include back and hip pain, anemia, malnutrition
- Women and girls risk violence and sexual assault both when collecting the water and when finding a place to use the bathroom
Without first ensuring access to WASH, all other development efforts will be less successful because these women and girls still won't get an education, will still be subject to violence and health effects, and still won't be able to break the cycle of poverty caused by lack of access to WASH.
April has a great number of events in store, focusing on the connection between WASH and women and exploring how we can utilize that to break the cycles of poverty and the taboos on menstruation:
- The Philadelphia Global Water Institute is holding their 6th annual conference on Tuesday, April 9, in Philadelphia. The theme this year is "Gender and Water: Leading Beyond the Burden."
- The theme this year at Engineering and Humanity Week at Southern Methodist University in Texas is "Water: Ripple Effects." On Tuesday, April 9, there is a panel on Water and Women that is free and open to the public!
- On the same day, Emory University in Atlanta is hosting a World Water Day event to celebrate the importance of water in health, education, and gender equality. The event is open to the public and will be streamed live online.
If you're near any of these locations, I encourage you to attend these workshops and panels!
