Sukanti Soren, a sanitation worker from Dhirikuti Basti, shared through an interactive voice response system (IVRS) that she was forced to do sanitation work because her husband, who was a heavy drinker, had taken all her salary at the start of the month. This made it difficult for her to manage expenses for the entire month. Consequently, she was unable to use the toilet in her home and resorted to open defecation. Due to her husband's behavior, no one in the community was willing to help her construct a toilet, even though the government would provide funds after its construction. Due to this, she is completely unable to maintain her personal hygiene, safety, and privacy.
