Jonathan Greenblatt: Water and Women: A Gender Crisis, a Global Opportunity
Posted on October 17th, 2009.“You may be woman, but I can’t hear you roar. In fact, I can’t hear you at all.
Maybe it is because you don’t really have time. No one can blame you. But maybe if you, and the hundreds of millions of women across the developing world trapped in similar situations, weren’t forced to waste hours and hours each day hiking to find and collect contaminated water for your families – just imagine what you could do.”
“Again, 200 million hours – every single day. It is numbing to calculate the human toll and wasted productivity associated with this labor. Thus, in order to begin to address any women’s issues, we must start with the basics. Simply put, nothing is more fundamental than providing women with safe and convenient access to clean water.”
