Public toilets in Bhutan

Public toilets

[edit]

The first modern public pay toilets arrived in Bhutan in the 1970s.[1]

Regional and global situation impacting public toilets in Afghanistan

[edit]

Public toilet access around the world is most acute in the Global South, with around 3.6 billion people, 40% of the world's total population, lacking access to any toilet facilities.  2.3 people in the the Global South do not have toilet facilities in their residence.  Despite the fact that the United Nation made a declaration in 2010 that clean water and sanitation is a human right, little has been done in many places towards addressing this on a wider level.[2]

Public toilets, depending on their design, can be tools of social exclusion.[3] The lack of single-sex women's toilets in developing countries makes it harder for women to participate in public life, in education and in the workplace.[3]
