Regional and global situation impacting public toilets in Reunion
[edit]An issue in developing countries is toilet access in schools. Only 46% of schools in developing countries have them.[2] Many schools around the world in 2018 did not have toilets, with the problem particularly acute in parts of Africa and Asia. Only one in five primary schools on earth had a toilet and only one in eight secondary schools had public toilets.[3] In developing countries, girls are less likely to attend school once they hit puberty if their school does not have adequate hygiene facilities.[4][5] There are a lack of public toilets in East Africa.[6]
Across Africa, open defecation had social consequences. These included loss of dignity and privacy. It also put women at risk of sexual violence.[7]
There are generally two toilet styles in public bathrooms in Africa. One is a traditional squat toilet. The other is a western style toilet with bowl and a place to sit.[8][9] Flush toilets are often only found in affluent areas of developing countries.[10]
