Fetching same contaminated water for drinking and cooking purposes affects the people of the rural areas, and it causes health issues like diarrhea, vomiting etc. Women also suffer from cardiovascular diseases, anemia, and lung problems due to the inadequate intake of nutritional food. Many girls in rural areas are forced to leave school because of the absence of better toilet facilities especially during menstruation Period. Implementation of proper policy programmes, enriching through better awareness programmes on disease transmission, importance of latrine construction maintenance etc, may reduce the level of health issues among women.
