The Importance of Hygiene and Sanitation Facilities for Women.

Abstract

The research examines the importance of hygiene and sanitation in schools for girls. I hypothesized that if the bathrooms in schools in Africa are unsanitary, and filled with thousands of germs and bacteria, less girls would want to use them due to the exposure of infections and diseases. To test my hypothesis, I will gather information from different students around campus that are from Africa, and interview them and ask what type of conditions they had to deal with when it comes to boy and girl restrooms at their schools. This research will help bring awareness to how filthy such as a restroom can be if not kept clean and sanitized on a daily. This research will also bring awareness to the inequality of boys and girls, and the upper class and lower class.
