World Toilet Day

Every year on November 19th, the world celebrates World Toilet Day. There is no laughing matter in this day when it comes to using bathroom humor. This day's aim is to address the global sanitation crisis and draw attention to those in need of sanitation.

Human waste products are responsible for deadly diseases. Toilets may seem to be a basic necessity, but they save lives.. Toilets provide sanitation, which is a human right. Without sanitation, it's nearly impossible to get out of poverty.

One of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals is to ensure sanitation for all by 2030. Today, 4.2 billion people around the world don't have access to properly managed sanitation. This is more than half of the global population. At least 2 billion people drink drinking water that has been contaminated with human feces. Because of poor sanitation, an estimated 432,000 diarrheal deaths occur each year. Around 670 million people around the world are required to practice open defiance. Not only do toilets provide sanitation, but they also help individuals maintain their dignity.

Some cities are unlivable due to a lack of toilets and a sanitation system. This includes Dhaka, Bangladesh's capital. There are very few public restrooms in the city. The majority of them don't work or are unusable. Many toilet-making firms are attempting to find solutions for cities like Dhaka's sewage problems on this awareness day. Separett, a Swedish company, is working on a waterless toilet system to help people from around the world. Villages in Nepalese Majhi no longer have to resort to open defecation in fields and ponds around their house, thanks to World Toilet Day's alert.
