Since 2001, there has been a world toilet day. A United Nations initiative which may seem extravagant but which, on closer inspection, is of a fundamental nature. In the world, 3.6 billion people do not have no access to toilets every day and in France the issue is real.

The lack of sanitation in the streets is problematic for women who have no other choice than to cross public spaces, for patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease or even for children who refrain from walking. go to the toilets of their school due to lack of cleanliness. This world day then makes it possible to defend the UN objective in favor of “safe toilets for all by 2030”.
