Sanitation in a Changing World
World Toilet Day is observed every year on 19 November to raise awareness about the global sanitation crisis. It highlights the importance of safe and accessible toilets for public health, dignity, and environmental protection. The day was inspired by Singaporean philanthropist Jack Sim, who founded the NGO World Toilet Organisation (WTO) on 19 November. The United Nations (UN) recognised water and sanitation as human rights in 2010 and officially declared World Toilet Day on 14 July 2013. The theme for World Toilet Day 2025 is ‘Sanitation in a Changing World,’ focusing on future-ready sanitation systems.
