In this episode, we’ll hear from practitioners in Bangladesh on how safe, clean bathrooms in schools can be an important enabler for girls’ education. We’ll learn what makes a bathroom “girl-friendly” and how they can be leveraged to provide critical health and hygiene services.
For more information on girl-friendly bathrooms, check out these resources:
