DISTRIBUTION OF WATER

This survey is from 45 different developing countries. The fact that 64% of women collect water daily has a huge impact on equality. In society, it’s men who work and the women who stay home and cook, clean, collect water, wash the clothes, look after the kids ect… These is an unfair and unjust world and women should have rights like men to get an education and earn money for their families.

HOW DOES ALL OF THIS AFFECT FAMILIES?

By girls being educated, this means that they can get a good job that pays well. By earning money this helps them provide them for their families.. Families will be happy when there is enough food to go around, they can send their kids to school, buy then a uniform, books, stationary and have enough money to survive on. All of this just starts from girls having an education.
