Empowering Women-Led SHGs and Transgender Allies for Cleaner Cities: Swachh Bharat Mission’s Sustainable Sanitation Triumph
Cities across India are tapping into the power of self-help groups (SHGs), predominantly led by women and transgender individuals, to boost sustainable sanitation solutions. In partnership with government bodies, these SHGs are actively participating in waste management services, creating livelihood opportunities, and promoting urban sanitation as part of the Swachh Bharat Mission. This collaborative approach exemplifies how inclusive measures can address complex sanitation and social challenges, supporting the mission’s goal of achieving ‘Garbage Free Cities’ by addressing various waste management aspects.
