This unspeakable tragedy reveals how vital it is that our education system ensures that schools have safe and decent sanitation. Reports from educators, families, rights groups and the media indicate that school toilets that are overcrowded, blocked, broken, filthy or have no hand washing facilities are not exceptional. The schools where safety and dignity are at risk still typically reflect the demographic inequalities of apartheid. In its 2014 report, the South African Human Rights Commission stated that: “Those areas which lack water and sanitation mirror apartheid spatial geography.

  • Urination Needs and Practices Away from Home: Where Do Women Go?
    SCOTT, SOHAIL & CAVILL 40th WEDC International Conference, Loughborough, UK, 2017 LOCAL ACTION WITH INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION TO IMPROVE AND SUSTAIN WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE SERVICES Urination needs and practices away from home: where do women go? P. Scott, M. Sohail & S. Cavill (UK) PAPER 2596 This paper places the sanitation spotlight on urination. Open urination is a cause of concern for various reasons including: public decency, public nuisance, smell, health and hygiene. Measures aimed to stop the practice focus on: 1) creating and enforcing laws; 2) changing social norms; and 3) making more urinals available. For gendered reasons, women are less likely to practice open urination, instead becoming practised at withholding urination when away from home. This paper argues that attention to urination can help cast light on gendered needs, norms and behaviours (and how these change along the human life course) in a way that the sanitation focus on defecation hasn’t. This paper is presented in conjunction with a side event at the WEDC conference titled: “Need to Wee?” Please join us there to continue the conversation. Putting the ‘urination’ back in sanitation People typically urinate four to eight times a day. In most people the bladder is able to store urine until it is convenient to go to the toilet, however there are differences based on medical conditions, disability or lifecourse status (i.e. age, pregnancy or menopause). Nevertheless, urination typically receives much less attention than defecation when we talk about sanitation. Rural sanitation approaches concentrate on ending open defecation as a first step to creating a clean and safe environment.
