The purpose of celebrating Toilet Day around the world is to make people aware about toilets and to protect them from diseases. The main objective of celebrating this day is to bring awareness about the importance of toilets and cleanliness in people's lives. The theme of World Toilet Day keeps changing every year, which has been changed this time in 2024 also. The theme this time is- “Toilet – A place for peace.”
This theme emphasizes the importance of safe sanitation in promoting peace, dignity and security for billions of people around the world. It highlights how access to safe toilets can improve public health, environmental health and overall quality of life, especially in conflict-affected and vulnerable areas.
The history of World Toilet Day is very old here in the world. Jack Sim had established the World Toilet Organization in Singapore, under which it was decided to celebrate World Toilet Day on 19 November every year. Jack Sim (born 1957) is the founder of the Restroom Association of Singapore, the World Toilet Organisation, the World Toilet Day Initiative and the Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP) Hub.
Here the World Toilet Organization started efforts to provide global recognition to this day. Only after this, in 2007, Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA) supported celebrating Toilet Day across the world. After this, the Sanitation for All proposal was presented to further raise awareness about the global challenge of sanitation and toilets. In 2013, World Toilet Day was declared an official United Nations day. In India, this Toilet Day was started in 2001 on 19th November.
As we know that many diseases spread through toilet, for this you should take special care of things.
1- Use clean toilet
If you use the toilet here day or night or anytime, make sure it is clean. Public toilets are also full of dirt, hence one should not use dirty toilets even by mistake. It gives rise to many serious diseases.
2-Do not defecate after eating
If you go to the toilet immediately after eating food, it is harmful for you. The body of people having this kind of habit remains thin and they always feel tired.
3-Do not drink tea before going to toilet.
One should not consume tea before using the toilet here. Many people here often believe that it is easier to go to the toilet after drinking tea. This habit is a wrong habit because the amount of acid in the body is very high in the morning. In such a situation, tea increases the acid in the body, which increases the body temperature and even harms the stomach. Therefore this should be taken care of.
