Abstract

This video promotes personal hygiene and community practises that can help break the cycle of infection caused by polluted surroundings and poor sanitary habits, even when safe drinking water is available. Emphasis is laid on women and health. Extensive animation has been used to illustrate clearly the path of disease and to unify the message for audiences of diverse cultural backgrounds. The film is aimed primarily at health care workers, and water and sanitation engineers and technicians, and can be used as a prime source of information for policymakers.
