  • W of Woman = Will.
Issue: Living Conditions
CVU: Apna TV
NGO Partner: Akshara
Location: Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Description: Most of the people living in slums blame the BMC (Bombay Municipal Corporation) or their fate for their plight, rather than acting upon their situation. In this community which has lost hope, one woman stands up and shows extraordinary leadership. She refuses to compromise with the facilities available and demands toilets and basic facilities for women. The woman shown in this video repeatedly approached the BMC - the municipal corporation of greater Mumbai (the richest municipal corporation in India). Each time, she was assured of services but nothing ever happened. She spoke to everyone from peon to Executive Engineer. Frustrated, she gathered local support of 200 woman and headed to the BMC office. This time she was heard, and after over a year of the fight, she brought proper sanitary toilets to her village. Kudos to her!
