Toilet shortage hits women in Mayur Vihar relief camp

In Delhi's Mayur Vihar flood relief camp, several women—including those pregnant—wake up long before sunrise. It's not out of choice but compulsion.

NEW DELHI: With only a few toilets available, they walk a long and uneven path to reach a secluded spot to relieve themselves.

A 26-year-old woman, Rama who is eight months pregnant with her first child said, "This is my first pregnancy and even though it is a difficult phase for any woman, the lack of toilets in the camp has made it even harder. Almost all of us wake up early to relieve ourselves in the dark so that no one can see us."
