Uncovering the hidden implications of water scarcity for maternal health: a photovoice study in rural Malawi (Thyolo district)
Photovoice proved to be an effective tool for amplifying the voices of marginalized postpartum women, enabling them to highlight the urgent need for clean water access. This approach not only raised awareness of water-related health issues but also provided valuable insights into the lived realities of women in rural Malawi. As climate change continues to intensify water scarcity, these findings underscore the need for sustainable, community-driven solutions. The study offers a model for inclusive research on global health challenges, particularly in vulnerable communities.
