CHARACTERISTICS OF SLUMS  Slums are characteristics that vary from place to place  Slums are usually characterized by urban decay, high rates of poverty, and unemployment  They are commonly seen as "breeding grounds" for social problems such as crime, drug addiction, alcoholism, high rates of mental illness, and suicide  In many slums, especially in poor countries, many live in very narrow alleys that do not allow vehicles to pass
HEALTH RISKS TO SLUM PEOPLE  Contaminated water (cholera , typhoid, etc)  Inadequate disposal of human wastes  Wastewater and garbage  Insects, pests (e.g. rats) and parasites in homes  Insufficient living spaces, poor ventilation and overcrowding  Children at risk from traffic, unsafe or contaminated sites  Indoor air pollution  House sites vulnerable to landslides or floods  Nutritional deficiencies  No or inadequate health care and advice  No emergency services  High rates of mental illness and suicide  AIDS
MAIN REASON FOR HOUSING PROBLEM  Increasing population  Increasing pollution  High demand of houses  Increasing land cost  Public health issues  Sanitation problems  Unplanned houses, etc…
GENDER INEQUALITY  Gender inequality refers to unequal treatment or perceptions of individuals based on their gender. It arises from differences in socially constructed gender roles as well as biologically through chromosomes, brain structure, and hormonal differences. Male children are seen as a blessing and indulged in many areas of Indian society. Girls are seen as a drain on precious resources as they will one day get married and their contribution towards the family will end. With that kind of start in life, it's difficult for women within the slums to find a voice.
WAY TO MINIMIZE THE SLUM PROBLEM:  To minimize poverty  Increase per-capital income  Consciousness about natural disaster  Planning of rehabilitation  Finance plus approach  To make several slum units  To meet their fundamental rights  Governmental efforts  To create more employment opportunities
ROLE OF SOCIAL WORKERS TO SOLVE THE SLUM PROBLEMS:  Community development  Slum study  Resource mobilization of slum dwellers  Coordination among the different social service agencies  To make them awareness regarding social problems
