Imagine life without a toilet. No toilets in your home or at work, no public toilets, no toilets anywhere. Imagine the mess. Imagine the disease.
It's hard to imagine life without something we take for granted, but this is the daily reality for 2.6 billion people. 40 % of the world’s population do not have access to adequate sanitation. That’s 2.6 billion people having to practice open defecation, urinating into rivers which lead to water borne diseases such as acute diarrhea, cholera and dysentery. Others resort to roadsides, buckets, plastic bags and open fields as their toilets. The eventual outcome – deaths.
The last taboo of talking about toilets has to be eradicated in order to give the toilet crisis the warranted attention. Everyone should have the right to have an access to a toilet anytime and anywhere. No one should die from not having a toilet. Governments worldwide should prioritize sanitation for all citizens of the world. 19 November is World Toilet Day. Celebrate this day together with the rest of the world and share your thoughts to give 2.6 billion people the hopes to survive.
