00:00Contaminated? Dirty? Or simply not enough?

00:07Access to safe drinking water has globally increased over the past decade,

00:12but 2.1 billion people worldwide still lack enough of it.

00:17These are the findings of a new report released by the World Health Organization on Tuesday.

00:23The document assembled data on the state of hygiene,

00:26access to safely managed sanitation and menstrual health for women and girls from around the world.

00:33Globally, rural areas lag behind urban centers,

00:37where sanitation is generally more developed,

00:40although coverage for hygiene and drinking water has stagnated in cities around the world.

00:46The report also highlighted that 106 million people drink directly from untreated surface sources of water.

00:55And in areas where water infrastructure is lacking,

00:59women and girls are primarily responsible for collecting water,

01:03according to the available data,

01:05which means that they spend less time on other activities.

01:08The WHO called for accelerated action on these issues,

01:13especially for the most marginalized communities.
