conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:11 authored by Vinod K. MishraThe Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Government of India recognizes that equity and inclusion
are key to ensuring that everyone’s sanitation needs are met and that no one is left behind. A priority
concern of the SBM guidelines is providing access to different categories of people who are not able to
use safe sanitation facilities. The guidelines mention the need to take safety and dignity issues into
account and provide facilities that are sensitive to the needs of people with disabilities. It also recognizes
the specific needs of women and adolescent girls, such as menstrual hygiene management, and allocates
resources for awareness and disposal of menstrual hygiene waste. These guidelines are now in the
process of being operationalized and rolled out in practice. This paper discusses key challenges and
issues of marginalised communities in India regarding sanitation and hygiene and recommendations
under Swachh Bharat Mission.
