WORLD Toilet Day, November 19, is an important date in the diary — it is when we highlight the millions of people who are denied access to decent toilets and sanitation.
Traditionally the focus of World Toilet Day has been in parts of the world where the lack of clean toilets and safe running water is a scandal that the world has failed to tackle and which results in untold deaths every year.
