Members of the Nagpur Citizens’ Forum

Members of the Nagpur Citizens’ Forum staged a protest on Sunday demanding increase in the number of public washrooms under ‘Right to Pee’ campaign. Citizens also demanded safe, clean and free urinals for them in the city. 
 
During the campaign that began on December 30, 2022, the citizens paid a visit to public toilets at different parts of the city and examined their condition and demanded better toilets for women. 

Advocate and woman activist from the city Smita Singhalkar told ANI, “The conditions of washrooms in the marketplace are very bad. It’s problem for women in terms of safety & hygiene. We have to request malls, hospitals, restaurants & colleges to grant us permission to use washrooms nearby.”

She added, “The lack of adequate public toilets is a matter of concern. Women and girls are forced to use other people’s improper or private washrooms, which may lead to crimes such as rape or sexual harassment. Even the schools that are present in the rural areas do have not proper washrooms and girls are forced to request the nearby people to use their washrooms. Such kind of negligence may lead to crimes against these girls.”

Singhalkar claimed that a few years back, the forum had filed a PIL but the government did not take any action.
