Today, WOSCONET shines a light on the crucial role toilets play in women’s lives, especially in Nigeria.

For women, a safe and private toilet is:

1. A sanctuary from harassment and assault

2. A space for menstrual hygiene and dignity

3. A refuge from cultural and social stigma

4. A place for self-care and relaxation

5. A symbol of equality and empowerment

But, in Nigeria:

47% of women lack access to basic sanitation

24% practice open defecation, exposing them to risks

1 in 3 women experience violence seeking sanitation

Let’s break the silence!

Therefore, today we demand:

1. Inclusive, accessible toilet infrastructure

2. Private and secure sanitation facilities

3. Menstrual hygiene management solutions

4. Education and awareness on women’s sanitation needs

5. Policy changes prioritizing women’s WASH rights
