World Toilet Day

World Toilet Day, observed annually on November 19, and designated by the United Nations, raises awareness about global sanitation issues. It highlights the importance of access to safe, affordable toilets for health, hygiene, and dignity, especially in developing regions where many lack proper sanitation. The day promotes efforts to improve toilet infrastructure, reduce waterborne diseases, and address the environmental impact of waste. Recognizing sanitation's role in public health and gender equality, World Toilet Day mobilizes governments, organizations, and communities to take action toward universal access to clean and safe sanitation facilities.
