On World Toilet Day, 1 in 3 women worldwide risk shame, disease, harassment and even attack because they have nowhere safe to go to the toilet. Sanitation would make 1.25 billion women's lives safer and healthier. Please use your voice to ask governments to keep their promises on providing safe toilets and clean water for the world's poorest people. Go to www.wateraid.org/1in3 to take action.
