Every time a Babli in a far
off village uses a piece of open land as
her toilet .We are at risk of contracting a disease. Just imagine the millions of Bubli’s and her
family members out there who are defecating and Urinating in open lands and
farmlands. This multiplies the risk of disease many fold. Both to those who are
actively following this practice and as well as those who are in far off
places.
The immediate risk is to
those who do not have access to proper toilets as they are exposed to insects
,animals , bacteria’s and wild foliage. However there is also a greater risk for
the women. As they face added risk of security hazards .
This is a major problem in
the rural areas. Where there are no proper toilet facilities as a consequence people
resort to using the open spaces.
Defecation in open leaves
the faeces rotting in the open, giving a foul smell.Due to rains or presence of
water bodies like open wells,rivers and streams. This can contaminate the water
bodies and can result in water borne diseases It also is the breeding ground of
germs and flies are often found breeding and flying around it. They then sit on
open foods and contaminate it with disease causing organisms. When Babli
consumes this contaminated food she is more likely ro fall ill. Dysentery is
one of the common diseases that happens
and spreads due to poor hygiene and lack of toilets contribute a great deal in its spread
and turn it into an epidemic.
The situation in the cities
is no different. The toilets are far and wide and are often not working or not
cleaned. The numbers of toilets per hundred humans is dismally low for a populous
country like us.
What this means is that
there is a Babli in every one of us. As some point or the other we have all
faced a situation when we were looking for a toilet and it was nowhere to be
found.
However this is all set to
change thanks to Domex and its #ToiletForBabli campaign. Domex the flagship product of HUL is running the Domex Toilet Academy (DTA) programme.This academy makes toilets accessible and affordable for the general populous of our country and is also taking the initiative to promoting the benefits of clean toilets and good hygiene.
