The water in the area is completely unsafe. It’s polluted, dark, and smells terrible
SDG 6, Target 6.3-- Access to clean water and sanitation.
Globally, 2.2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water (UN, 2023)
There is a greater need to intensify top-down and bottom-up action to address this issue.
What’s more frustrating is that no one is talking about it. There are people here every day, breathing in polluted air, walking past contaminated water, and risking their health. We need awareness. We need action. And we need to start taking the health of workers and local communities more seriously.
SDG 11- Sustainable cities and communities.
The lack of dialogue and action reflects weak community engagement and governance, critical for sustainable urban development. Unfortunately, there is apathy in governance as well as lack of behavioral equity from the public at large.
