World Toilet Day is Nov. 19, but 2.3 billion people "still do not have basic sanitation facilities such as toilets or latrines," according to the World Health Organization.
Here's what the UN wants you to know:
- 1/5 of schools worldwide have no toilet facilities at all
- 900 million schoolchildren have nowhere to wash their hands
- 80% of all our wastewater flows back into the environment without being treated
It is an official United Nations international observance day on 19 November to inspire action to tackle the global sanitation crisis.
It is celebrated every year to ensure that people appreciate clean and accessible toilets because over 2 billion people worldwide do not have such access.
