22 public toilets in Victoria: 136 people currently peeing

World Toilet Day floats some serious health issues

Talking about toilets may seem like poor manners, but World Toilet Day seeks to address an important health issue that affects people around the globe.

Nov. 19 brings awareness to the lack of access to safe toilets. Supported by UN Water, World Health Organization and other international non-profits, a 2017 study shows 4.5 billion people live without safe, sanitary toilets. This can lead to contamination of soil and waterways, a safety and health hazard UN Water wants to eliminate by 2030.

But it’s not just developing countries plagued by the need to pee.

We all need to go, but for some reason, few people want to talk about the logistics of it. For those with homes or work it isn't as much of an issue, but for the homeless, being sanitary can be an extra burden.
