Bhumiya’s journey to becoming Hetauda City Nepal's first transwoman sanitation worker is a testament to her resilience and determination to overcome societal obstacles. Originally from Saptari district, and from the Muslim community, Bhumiya faced family rejection and financial hardship, initially having to rely on sex work for survival.
Kandy, a cultural and historical gem in Sri Lanka's Central Province, is renowned for its rich heritage, and tourism place. Despite Kandy's status as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the city struggled with poorly maintained public toilets managed by private vendors, causing difficulties for women, children, and the people with disability.
In Khudikhola-32, Pokhara Sub-Metropolitan City, the community from informal settlements faced severe sanitation challenges. Despite believing their facilities were safe, residents discovered their water sources were at high risk of contamination due to the proximity of water pipelines to open drainage systems and improperly sealed septic tanks. During the rainy season, the situation worsened as overflowing toilets caused septic waste to mix with drainage water, further contaminating the area.
