An unprecedented study entitled “Sanitation and the Life of the Brazilian Woman,” done by BRK Ambiental in partnership with Instituto Trata Brasil, with support from the Global Compact Network Brazil, shows that one out of every four women in Brazil have inadequate access to treated water and wastewater collection and treatment. This survey indicates that illnesses caused by a lack of sanitation impact the productive time of Brazilian women 10% more than Brazilian men.
Girls of school age without access to basic services score around 46 points lower compared to other students, and by the age of 14, girls suffer more from school absences due to diarrhea and other gastrointestinal ailments.
