African Women's Day, concerned about the status of African women

Speaking at the Fourth World Water Forum, Anna, Executive Director of UN-HABITAT, said: "In some parts of Africa, the issue of the most important concern for women's marriage is whether or not there is an independent bathroom at the man's house." Her words are vividly portrayed The status of a serious water shortage in Africa. It sounds incredible whether there is a lifelong event in your home or not, but it is true in some African countries. There is a serious lack of water resources in Africa and lack of water treatment infrastructure. Anna said: "In many parts of Africa, water treatment facilities are not perfect."

The upcoming July 30 is the annual African Women's Day, which, like the March 8 International Womens Day, was established to safeguard women's legitimate rights and ensure women's equal rights are inviolable. And drinking water safety is just one of the most basic living rights. Ms. Brundtland, chairman of the World Health Organization, once said: "Clean drinking water and proper sanitation are the most basic human rights." In some African countries, such basic human rights can not be guaranteed.

In Africa, problems such as years of drought and lack of safe drinking water have become closely linked to various diseases. A survey shows that water pollution, air pollution and other causes leading to fetal malformations in pregnant women, one of the main reasons. Such a problem exists not only in Africa but also in every corner of the world. On September 21, 2011, the Ministry of Health of China released the "Report on the Development of MCH in China." The "report" pointed out that the incidence of birth defects in newborns in China in the past 15 years increased by 70.9%. Officials from China's Ministry of Health made it clear that the impact of many factors has led to an increase in the birth defect rate, including environmental factors.

It is learned that in order to tackle this issue, WHO has already formulated a two-step development plan to tackle the global water pollution problem. By 2015, it will halve the long-term shortage of sanitary water in the world by 2015 ; By 2025, strive to make the vast majority of the world's population can drink sanitation water to prevent water pollution problems affecting the healthy development of the next generation.

In response to this call, in response to the increasingly serious problem of drinking water safety, many countries have already taken actions and are actively involved in the development of science and technology to seek ways to improve their drinking water. For example, Israel, with its scarcity of water resources, is recognized as a major water shortage and technological powerhouse, and its research and development efforts in the field of water purification and its cost are among the highest in the world.

As early as the end of the last century, the famous Israeli food group Strauss began the research and development of water purification. In the course of several years of research, dozens of world-class experts and scholars have done tens of thousands of experiments in various fields, including biology, chemistry and physics. The research on the theoretical basis has also undergone several major controversies and overthrowings . After numerous explorations and experiments, this world-class challenge has finally been overcome and won the recognition of some of the world's top appraisers such as the U.S. WQA. The scientists named this epoch-making technology MAZE technology.

At present, the MAZE technology has been promoted globally by Strauss Group through commercial means. We expect such a large number of innovative technologies and expect such technology to be popularized rapidly.
