How can you solve a problem if you can’t even talk about it?

“We need to end the taboos, euphemisms, stigma, and silence that surround toilet access issues. In doing so, we work towards mainstreaming critical discussions about toilets, menstruation, hygiene and clean water. By normalizing the conversation, we hope to eliminate the barriers faced by decision makers when addressing toilet access and create a dialogue that puts toilets at the centre of social and economic development.
