Global Sanitation Crisis on Full Display This World Toilet Day

World Toilet Day 2025 lays bare the global sanitation crisis like never before, a relentless scourge that strips dignity from billions while silently fueling disease, poverty, and environmental collapse. Observed annually on November 19 under UN-Water’s stewardship, this year’s focus—”Sanitation in a Changing World”—with its unapologetic tagline “We’ll Always Need the Toilet”—cuts through the euphemisms to confront the raw imperatives of resilience, equity, and innovation in an era of unrelenting upheaval.
