World Toilet Day is celebrated on 19th November every year to raise awareness of the crisis and promote worldwide sanitation solutions so that all people have access to proper sanitation. The issue is of great concern to the 1 in 3 people worldwide who don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have access to hygienic toilet facilities. About 2.3 billion people lack access to basic sanitation services, and currently, 1 in 5 children die from diarrheal diseases.<\/p>\n
To solve this massive problem, the United Nations included \u00e2\u20ac\u0153access to clean toilets\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in the Sustainable Development Goals, which unite member countries to create health, prosperity, and a sustainable planet for all. One of the targets is to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
The world is currently off-track to meet SDG 6; with only 40 out of 152 countries are on track to achieve nearly universal basic sanitation by 2030.<\/p>\n
Sanitation is a human right and every poor and marginalized section of society deserves a managed sanitation services. With this day let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s breaks the taboo around toilets and making sanitation for all a global development priority, encourage each other to get involved in this global movement.<\/p>\n
