World Toilet Day - November 19
November 19 marks World Toilet Day, an annual global event organized by UN Water to raise awareness of the crucial role that sanitation plays in reducing disease and creating healthier communities. The theme for 2021 is Valuing Toilets.
Today, 4.2 billion people live without safely managed sanitation, 673 million still practice open defecation and three billion lack basic handwashing facilities. This sanitation crisis means untreated human waste is spreading diseases into water supplies and the food chain for billions of people. Inadequate sanitation is estimated to cause 432,000 diarrheic deaths every year.
