Right to pee campaign - a campaign to highlight the lack of clean and safe public toilets for women in mumbai, india. A community led campaign which has resulted in a much deeper and sustainable impact to ensure that the people across genders in marginalised communities have access to free, clean, safe public/community toilets in mumbai. Stakeholders of the programme include people from communities, municipal authorities, architects and urban planners and organisations which work on the ground around the issues of gender and sanitation.

With content including the latest news from science, business, finance, politics and culture, the podcast is for everyone looking to expand their understanding of the climate crisis, leaving them feeling informed, energised and inspired to take action.
Count us in and other programs - a global movement of people and organizations taking practical climate action.
