‘We’ll Always Need the Toilet’

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Human Wrongs Watch By the United Nations*

No matter what lies ahead, we will always rely on sanitation to protect us from diseases and keep our environment clean.

Today, billions of people still live without a safe toilet — with the poorest, especially women and girls, worst affected.

As time goes by, the pressure on sanitation is only increasing. Across the world, ageing infrastructure is failing. Investment hasn’t kept pace with demand.

And climate change is reshaping our world – with glaciers melting, weather worsening, and sea levels rising.

We urgently need to invest in ‘future-ready’ sanitation today

Together, we must ensure toilets are:

  1. Accessible to all.
  2. Resilient to floods, droughts and other climate shocks.
  3. Minimize greenhouse gas emissions.
  4. Supported by strong systems and sustained investment.

Access to sanitation is a human right – fundamental to a healthy, dignified, productive life.

If every person had access to a safe, resilient toilet, we could save thousands of lives every year and build the foundations for a more peaceful and prosperous world.

We need toilets for everyone, everywhere.

No matter how the world alters, some things will never change – our need for toilets is one of them.

Let’s make toilets fit for the future — now.
