>More than one billion people in poor countries,
>mostly women, spend dozens of hours a week,
>throughout their live , hand-washing dirt, piss,
>shit and blood from their relatives.
>For environmental, economic, energetic and
>sanitary reasons, hand-washing is generally
>done in difficult and very time consuming
>conditions that impact :
>- health and education of women and children who help
>- their possibility of individual and collective emancipation .
>In rich countries, women emancipation started
>with the arrival of washing machines.
>
>The Oswash project http://www.oswash.org
>explores, with the help of Bricolabs, TerrikOlab
>and our hosts, technological and social
>opportunities that would reduce this "washing
>divide", this lost time, and allow a change in
>the status of women worldwide.
