For 8 March, International Women’s Day, from Water Mission:
Crying Out for Safe Water: Elevating Women’s Voices From Around the World.
Women around the world have a wealth of stories about the global water crisis. Often, they are the ones crying out the loudest for safe water.
Women of all ages can tell stories about the physical, emotional, and spiritual toll that walking for and consuming unsafe water takes on them and their families:
- Women and girls are the ones who walk for water, sometimes getting injured or attacked along the way.
- Young girls miss out on valuable educational time when they must spend time walking for water instead of attending school.
- Mothers carry the emotional weight of caring for children who are constantly sick from consuming unsafe water.
