Indira fails in lawsuit against IGP over abducted daughter’s recovery, court says police didn’t neglect duties to find ex-husband
Overdue airport service charges: High Court to rule on MYAirline’s bid to dismiss RM17.7m Malaysia Airports suit on August 16Of the 2.2 billion people in the world who still have no access to safe drinking water, girls and women are the first to suffer.
In some rural areas of the world, notably in Southeast Asia, Africa and South America, women living without access to running water spend an average of almost half an hour a day collecting water. This onerous task increases inequalities and their living conditions, with adverse effects on their physical and mental health. And this lack of access to water is likely to worsen as a result of the climate crisis.
The study is based on historical data from surveys of residents in 347 sub-national regions on four continents between 1990 and 2019. It analyses the effects of climate on water collection time, based on the estimate that a 1°C rise in temperature increases women's daily travel time by 4 minutes.
A Unesco report, published in March, reports that of the 2.2 billion people in the world who still do not have access to safe drinking water, girls and women are the first to suffer. In particular, water scarcity contributes to girls dropping out of school more frequently than boys. ― ETX Studio
