Breaking the Toilet Taboo

Sanitation is a human right. Nevertheless, it remains a politically neglected, under-financed and oftentimes strongly taboo-inflicted issue. German Toilet Organization (GTO) positions itself in national and international political processes with the aim of increasing political prioritisation and improving specific policies and structures. By addressing politicians, the private sector, academia, civil society and everyday citizens, GTO draws attention to the topic, breaks the taboo and fills knowledge gaps.
