Sanitation and Water Pollution - Indonesia

Sanitation and Water Pollution - Indonesia

Children are seen playing in household wastewater that flows to the canal in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia, on June 3, 2025. This scene highlights the significant environmental challenges associated with inadequate sanitation and water pollution. According to reports from the World Bank (2021), access to decent sanitation in Indonesia remains a critical issue, with millions of households lacking a safe waste disposal system. Studies by the Environmental Health Journal (2020) also show that exposure to domestic wastewater can increase the prevalence of waterborne diseases such as diarrhoea, typhus, and skin infections, especially in children. It is estimated that more than 50% of cases of diarrhoea in children under five years in urban areas are related to contaminated water sources (WHO, 2019). This condition not only poses a serious health risk for the local community but also has a long-term impact on water ecosystems. Photo by Aditya Sutanta/ABACAPRESS.COM

The Beach A Temporary Escape for Muslims - Sri Lanka

A woman seen from the back, standing in the water and looking at the horizon, on the beach in Weligama, Sri Lanka, on January 2nd, 2022. In Sri Lanka, the Muslim community has faced increasing challenges since the 2019 Easter bombings, when coordinated attacks on churches and hotels by a local Islamist extremist group claimed over 250 lives. In the aftermath, anti-Muslim sentiment surged across the island, leading to heightened discrimination and hostility. The situation worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the government introduced a series of stringent policies impacting the Muslim community. These measures included banning the burqa and niqab in public spaces, closing over 1,000 madrasas, and requiring all Islamic texts entering the country to be reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Defense. These actions have raised significant concerns about religious freedom and the marginalization of Muslims in Sri Lankan society.
