Water water everywhere, not a drop to drink ? Women Cut Off Sex to Get Water August 14, 2001 10:57 am EST ANKARA (Reuters) - A group of women in southern Turkey have banished their husbands from the bedroom in a protest against a lack of running water in their village, a local official told Reuters Tuesday. A few dozen women have boycotted sex for about a month in an effort to force their husbands to build a drinking-water system in the village of Sirt, near the Mediterranean resort of Antalya, local governor Mehmet Carpraz said. "These ladies are sending a message," Carpraz said. "They are not allowing their husbands into the bedroom because they are tired of carrying water to their homes from the well." Sirt's husbands have appealed to authorities to provide pipes and other material, saying they will donate their labor to expedite the system's construction, Carpraz said. "The men came to us and said, 'Please help us, please understand our situation,"' he said.
