Lack of safe, accessible public toilets disproportionately affects women limiting their mobility, health, safety and ability to work. To address this, Hyderabad GHMC under Hari Chandana installed She Toilets – essentially portable toilet cabins thoughtfully designed keeping women’s needs in mind. #sanitation #womenempowerment
Detached from sewer lines allowing flexible placement, Chandana ensured they have running water, dustbins, hook for bags/clothes and well-lit interiors for safety. This pioneering initiative to provide dignified, hygienic community toilet access won praise for its gender sensitive approach bridging infrastructure gaps across many pockets until permanent facilities arrive. #UrbanPlanning #GenderEquality
She Toilets augmented by eSuvidha mobile toilets are helping more citizens especially women access public spaces and opportunities without sanitation hurdles. Chandana has highlighted that urban infrastructure must factor in the concerns of marginalized sections to enable equitable growth in cities. #SocialJustice #SheInspiresUs
