Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF) has raised concerns about the global impact of inadequate sanitation, which is negatively affecting health, education, and livelihoods, especially for children and women.<\/p>\n

UNICEF\u2019s Chief of Field Office in Bauchi, Dr. Nuzhat Rafique, raises the concern during the 2024 World Toilet Day event held at Hazibal Hotel, Bauchi.<\/p>\n

Rafique explained that poor sanitation leads to serious health risks, especially for children and teenage girls.<\/p>\n

\u201cSafe toilets are essential for public health. They help reduce diseases, protect water sources, and ensure safety, especially for women and children,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Represented by WASH Officer , Dawap Nanbam Michael, Rafique explained that World Toilet Day is a time to focus on the global sanitation crisis and the need for everyone to have access to safe toilets.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme, \u2018Sanitation for Peace\u2019, highlights how proper sanitation improves health, dignity, and peace in communities.<\/p>\n

She noted that having safe toilets can end open defecation, which poses major health and environmental risks.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuman waste can carry millions of harmful germs that spread diseases like cholera, which is still a major cause of death among children,\u201d Rafique added.<\/p>\n

She urged everyone to recognize that access to safe toilets is not just about health but also about building stronger and healthier communities.<\/p>\n
