I am a journalist writing for Grid Arendal in Norway and working on a story on the safety implications of poor access to sanitation and water in Africa. In South Africa (where I am based), going to the toilet in informal settlements and areas where people rely on communal facilities can be a matter of life and death. Women are being raped, children murdered, and others robbed. Similar situations apply to the slums of Nairobi, Lagos, and other large cities. I am looking to interview: - experts/researchers/civil society organisations who can tell me more about this (trends, stats, developments, who is most affected and why, implications for society and health, etc) - Organisations who are working towards solutions - People who have an idea of what the solution can/could be - Best practices from other parts of the world - Anyone else who can give me a good insight into the safety aspect of poor access to sanitation and solutions The focus should be pan-Africa (not South Africa).
