World Toilet Day
World Toilet Day raises awareness about the global sanitation crisis and highlights the importance of safe toilets for public health and dignity.
Established by the United Nations in 2013, World Toilet Day shines a spotlight on the global sanitation crisis and the urgent need for proper sanitation facilities.

The day promotes action to tackle issues such as open defecation, water contamination, and hygiene education. Each year, a specific theme drives global campaigns focusing on areas like innovation, financing, and inclusive sanitation solutions. Community events, workshops, and digital campaigns engage governments, NGOs, and local leaders in collaborative efforts. By advocating for improved sanitation infrastructure, World Toilet Day upholds basic human rights and advances several UN Sustainable Development Goals. The observance underscores the critical link between sanitation and overall well-being, dignity, and economic growth.
