About 30% of the world’s population lacks access to a decent toilet. In addition to the dangers to everyone’s health, this means that more than 1.1 billion women and children worldwide face additional risks associated with a lack of adequate sanitation, including harassment and barriers to school attendance. This is what the non-governmental organization WaterAid says, which in 2017 published a report on “The state of toilets in the world”. The group found that the 10 countries with the most limited access to basic sanitation are all in sub-Saharan Africa, with Ethiopia having the highest percentage of its population living without adequate sanitation . Despite recent improvements, only 7% of Ethiopians have access to adequate sanitation.
