heyyyyyy

Explanation:

here is ur answer:) :) :)

How is equality between women and men relevant

to waste disposal systems?

The management and recycling of solid waste and

sewage is a growing problem in most urban areas

because of concerns related to both public health

and environmental damage.

The effectiveness of waste disposal initiatives can

be improved through the incorporation of an

understanding of gender differences and

inequalities. Waste disposal projects can also

provide support to women (especially if they are

responsible for waste disposal) and ease their

overall work burden through improved family

health. Waste disposal initiatives can also

contribute to gender equality through offering

opportunities for women’s increased employment.

Gender differences and inequalities can affect

various aspects of waste disposal:

Household responsibilities relating to waste

and waste disposal. Given women’s primary

responsibility for cleaning, food preparation,

family health, laundry, and domestic

maintenance, women and men may view

domestic waste and its disposal differently.

They may have different definitions of what is

waste or garbage. They may also manage

waste differently and put different priorities

on its disposal.

Household resources and waste disposal.

Women do not always have equal input into

the allocation of family finances. For

example, although a woman might be willing

to spend scarce household resources on waste

disposal, her SPOUSE may not agree. As well,

women’s HEAVIER workloads mean that they

often have less available time. Thus men and

women can assign different values to time

spent on waste disposal. For example, men

may think that ONE central disposal point is

sufficient, while women may prefer a greater

number of smaller, yet more accessible

disposal sites.

Views and priorities related to waste

disposal. Given different responsibilities and

resources, women and men may set different

public health priorities and have different

environmental standards. For example, in one

community where undrained storm water

caused problems, the neighbourhood

committee was given a choice between two

types of drainage systems: a sophisticated one

that would take three years to become

operational or a simple one that could be

operational before the next rainy season. The

committee chose the sophisticated one while

the women, consulted separately, would have

preferred the simple system which would

have solved their problems immediately*

.

Participation in community decision-

making about waste disposal. Despite

women’s relatively high involvement at the

local level, men are more likely to have

access to institutions that set priorities and

make decisions regarding municipal

infrastructure. Community consultations

processes often fail to take gender inequalities

into consideration and thus neglect women’s

preferences. Unless explicit measures are

taken to ensure women’s participation, their

priorities, responsibilities and needs will not

be heard.

Employment opportunities in waste

disposal or sewage treatment. In some urban

centres, solid waste management has evolved

into an ORGANIZED system of collection, trade

and recycling. There is often a marked

division of labour in these various tasks

between women and men (see the example on

the overleaf). With a consideration of the

specific barriers faced by women, waste

disposal initiatives could offer improved

employment possibilities for women.

These broad issues need to be explored in each

situation. In addition to gender differences, other

factors such as age, class, race, or religion will

influence people’s responses to waste and their

ability to participate in initiatives. For example,

daughters may view waste recycling differently

than sons (given their responsibilities for different

household tasks). A woman from a wealthy

household may be able to pay for a private

sewage treatment system that is not an option for

a poorer woman. Participatory approaches can

assist in both the understanding of gender equality

dynamics and the design of gender-sensitive

interventions.

hope this helps:) :) :)
