India - Meghwal women gather to
collect and carry water.
In
India's far western district of Kutch, in the state of Gujarat, is the
settlement of the Muslim Halepotra and the Hindu Meghwals.
In many developing countries, women and girls walk on average six kilometres each day to fetch water. They carry around 20 kilograms -- the equivalent of a cabin luggage -- on their heads.
