An Indian woman has been rewarded for her “bold” decision to leave her marital home within days of the wedding to protest against the lack of a toilet in the household, an official said on Thursday.
Anita Narre will be handed $10,000 by Sulabh International, a non-profit group, for refusing to defecate in the open and sparking a “toilet revolution” in her village in central Madhya Pradesh, according to the district magistrate.
“Narre motivated other women of her village to coax their partners to build toilets. The village is transformed today, thanks to her bold act,” B. Chadrasekhar told AFP over phone. <source>
It is hard to envision a home without a toilet…but hence the term third world countries. One would hope they had plenty of foliage.
