Read the article write 200 words response to the following ques- tion. Direct connection or quote is needed from the article. Women often bear the burden of unequal access to water and sanitation services in informal settlements. They have to routinely resort to informal or extra-legal practices to secure water or sani- tation for their families. What do you think are the most effective ways to engage with these inequalities in urban non-networked settlements? Is the best way forward through community-based responses, state interventions, or organizations from outside pro- viding resources? Or is it a combination initiatives? What are chal- lenges with these approaches?

write 100 words response to the following passage.

“It has been apparent over and over that women face inequalities and burdens when it comes to having proper water and sanitation access. Women often have to resort to in- formal or illegal practices in order to obtain proper water or sanitation for their families. As discussed by Truelove, women put themselves at risk of danger and assault in order to provide this basic human right for their family. On top of all of this, women also face intersectionality. This indicates that they may face more than just one type of discrimina- tion, usually based on their gender, social class, and ethnicity. The most effective way to engage with these inequalities in urban non-networked settlements is through communi- ty-based responses, and organizations from outside providing resources. The community-based responses can better teach people of the inequalities that women face every day. This can give the community a new perspective when it comes to understanding what these women would do in order to make sure their family sur- vives. This can also shape the public view of women in order to better appreciate what they do for their families well-being. The topic of intersectionality can also be addressed through community-based responses by outlining what women of all different back- grounds face. Even though they may all face discrimination, some face more due to other factors of their personal life. Organizations from outside can also provide re- sources in terms of upgrading technology and making it easier for not only women, but for everybody to obtain proper water and sanitation throughout their daily lives.”
