It’s worse for the disabled. Romatben and her daughters are all vision impaired.
They have to wait until someone can go with them to the nearby forest.
Understandably, Romatben is reluctant to marry her daughters into families that
don’t have toilets at home. Narayan K Banerjee of the Centre for Development
Studies, agrees. “Monsoon and winter are difficult seasons, especially for the
elderly and the handicapped.” Karmaben Rakhya Ahir of Bhalot, Kutch, would
agree. She has spent a lifetime going to the fields in the dark or using a sand pot
at home. But “my life will improve now,” she says. At 75, she has finally
managed to have a toilet built. At home.
