#November19

ஒரேநாளில் ஆண்கள் தினமும், கழிப்பறை தினமும்.. ஏனெனில் இரண்டையுமே மேம்படுத்த வேண்டும் போன்ற மீம்ஸ் நேற்று முழுவதும் கண்களில் பட்டபோதும், உலகில் 420 கோடி மக்கள் கழிப்பறை வசதி இல்லாமல் இருக்கின்றனர் என்றிருக்கும்போது, Sustainable Sanitation isn't a joke என்பதே உண்மை!
1/n
நமது வாழ்நாளில், சராசரியாக மூன்று வருட காலங்களை, நாம் கழிவறைகளில் கழிக்கிறோம். அதிலும் ஆண்களைக் காட்டிலும், ஒன்றிலிருந்து ஒன்றரை வருட காலம் அதிகம் செலவிடுகின்றனர் பெண்கள் என்கிறது ஓர் ஆய்வு..
2/n
இந்நிலையில், பொதுக்கழிப்பிடங்களில், அதிலும் வெஸ்டர்ன் டாய்லெட்டுகளைப் பயன்படுத்த வேண்டிய சூழ்நிலையில் நோய்த்தொற்று ஏற்படாமல் பெண்கள் பாதுகாப்பாக இருப்பது மிகவும் அவசியமான ஒன்றாகிவிட்டது..

Today is #WorldToiletDay #WorldToiletDay2020

More than a billion (that's 1,000,000,000) people defecate in the open because they lack the dignity of a toilet.

As usual, I did NOT have time to write a blog post about it, but I did in previous years.

WORLD #TOILET DAY READING THREAD: It’s the day you’re all waiting for, and it can’t come fast enough, right? #WorldToiletDay.

November 19th is the day we get to celebrate #sanitation and think about how to make it better for everyone and for the planet. Image
I’m going to tweet out a mix of great books--one per day--with a link to buy them at Bookshop.org. Spoiler alert: On the last day, I’ll tell you about the book I’ve written, which is coming out in April from @AvidReaderPress.
I’ll also add your #worldtoiletday book recommendations if you tweet them at me with a brief note about why you suggest them.

(Disclosure: Bookshop.org supports local bookstores, and I’m an affiliate, so I get a tiny commission if you click through.)

Millions of sanitation workers in the developing world are forced to work in conditions that endanger their health and lives, and violate their dignity and human rights:
Joint WHO/@ilo/@wateraid/@WorldBank report ahead of #WorldToiletDay 👉bit.ly/3550Jpp
@ilo @wateraid @WorldBank @WHO_Europe @WHOAFRO @pahowho @WHOEMRO @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @DrTedros Sanitation workers provide an essential public service that is key to safeguarding human health. They are often the most marginalised, poor and discriminated-against members of society, carrying out their jobs with no equipment, protection or legal rights bit.ly/3550Jpp
@ilo @wateraid @WorldBank @WHO_Europe @WHOAFRO @pahowho @WHOEMRO @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @DrTedros Sanitation workers are the people who do jobs such as
🧽 cleaning toilets
🧽 emptying pits and septic tanks
🧽 cleaning sewers and manholes
🧽 operating pumping stations and treatment plants

There's a real swirl around #WorldToiletDay this year. Last year it didn't go down fully, but I'm glad to see that the dictionary is doing its bit to get the potty started in 2018.
Yes, I took the plunge and made that joke. And yes, I'm flushed with excitement about it. And yes, these jokes are crappy. And yes, urine trouble if you jump in with any additional jokes. And no, I have not wiped the slate clean of possible jokes yet.
And yes, the sound you heard was a rim shot. And no, I don't know squat, you are correct. And yes, I know you are scouring your mind for more toilet jokes. And yes, I know you're pissed that you've kept reading this far. And yes, this is just a brain dump of toilet jokes.
