Question

how can the cleanliness movement help women ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Women have been at the receiving end of lack of toilets, for decades. From dropping out of school when they hit puberty to health problems that develop over time due to restrictions on when women can go out and relieve themselves in the open, the impact of lack of hygiene and sanitation on women goes far beyond just lack of toilets. So it was only a matter of time when women would come forward and do something about lack of basics, like access to toilets. Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has only helped matters. From helping their district build thousands of toilets in a couple of weeks to leading cleanliness drives to practising the 3Rs – reduce, reuse and recycle, women in India are getting involved with every aspect of Clean India Movement.
