Women in India who don’t have adequate access to sanitation facilities and are forced to openly defecate are more likely to experience sexual violence, according to a new study.
Approva Jadhav, a researcher from the University of Michigan, said that “open defecation places women at uniquely higher risk of type of sexual violence: non-partner” in the co-authored report.

In their findings, researchers said it was twice as likely for women without access to “household toilets” to face sexual violence than women who do have such access, suggesting that improvement of infrastructure and access to toilets would provide a safer environment for women.

“Women who use open defecation sites such as open fields or the side of a railway track are twice as likely to get raped when compared with women using a home toilet,” the study stated.

“Our findings provide further rationale for NGO’s and the Indian government to expand sanitation programs, and raise new questions about the potentially protective role of sanitation facilities in other contexts beyond India,” the research found.

Almost half of India’s population do not have access to basic sanitation and have to defecate in public and women appear to be affected the most.

“This is an urgent need that cannot be ignored anymore,” Ms Jadhav, lead author of the report, told NDTV. “We need more than anecdotes to bring a policy change.”

By analyzing data from the Indian National Family Health Survey along with an overall representative sample of 75,000 women who answered questions on accessibility to toilets in their homes and experiences of various types of violence, the researchers found that previous sanitation studies did not examine the synonymous link between the two.

The issue of India’s sanitation crisis being linked to sexual violence came to light in 2014 when two teenage girls were raped and hanged in Uttar Pradesh while they were making their way to fields to defecate.

In the slums of Delhi, where communities often have to share public toilets, girls under the age of 10 have been found to be at risk of “being raped while on their way to use a public toilet,” according to a BBC report, which also states that around 300 million women and girls in the country defecate in the open.

Poo in loos are a plague on this planet honestly

How are you going to waste so much money on military and space programs but not have enough toilets

Did the curryniggers send their only toilet to space?????

India and Pakistan should both wipe each other out, it will be great for the human race once these smelly poo in loos are gone
 
And a missle program, and a fighter jet program, and a nuclear weapons program, submarines and tanks too. They don't have money to give to millions of poor people on the brink of starvation though.
Not all rich people are philanthropists. A country can have a very large GDP, with the majority of people living in poverty. Like usual, only the minority seems to be hoarding the wealth. Their government doesn't seem to care about their domestic infrastructure.

They are doing good economically but they can't spend a small portion of their money on dramatically increasing the quality of life of the most vulnerable. Not only that, they turned they country into a dump. It's incredibly polluted. These people and their government don't care about anything.

Why cant they hold their shit when they get home? However, rape is no excuse especially when female wants to take a dump at public place.
