The dirty truth: 41 million Pakistanis without toilets
95
Recently, a Unicef warning announced that an alarming 41 million people in Pakistan lack access to adequate toilets; forcing them to defecate in public. Pakistan is in fact the third largest country, behind India and Indonesia, where people are forced to defecate in the open.
This troubling practice which has become the norm for 41 million Pakistanis has profound health and nutritional consequences. Open defecation has significant consequences and it is imperative that we explore this topic.

The city of Lahore is home to millions of people and has only 21 public bathrooms. Many of these are in dire condition and in a state of chronic decay. It is tragic that in a country that receives millions of dollars of aid annually, we have failed to provide the most fundamental necessities such as clean bathrooms to our people! Forcing individuals to seek out places to defecate leads to stool withholding behavior, constipation, and stunting.
These consequences have lifelong implications and must be addressed immediately.
Stool withholding behaviour
When children are confronted with psycho-social stressors such as not being able to defecate in private or adequately; they have a tendency to develop stool withholding behavior – they refuse to defecate in a setting where they are uncomfortable or embarrassed, causing them to reflexively withhold bowel movement.
For a child to defecate in open, it is very embarrassing and anxiety-provoking. This can lead to serious problems known as Encopresis, in which children begin to soil their undergarments.
The colon normally removes water from our faeces, but stool remaining in our gut for too long from conditioned withholding will inevitably lead to constipation. The stool becomes so hard that it is difficult to expel and stretches the colon, impairing the sensations associated with a normal bowel movement. As a result, softer stool often leaks around the blockage, soiling a child’s undergarments.
As anyone can imagine, this has devastating effects on an individual's overall level of hygiene. The faecal contamination of hands, garments, and other clothing will allow infectious diseases to disseminate with ease.
Constipation
The health ramifications of constipation are severe, and unfortunately, frequently overlooked.
Our colon is home to a bacterial flora which is essential for maintaining gut health. Constipation leads to an imbalance in this bacterial flora giving rise to unfriendly strains of bacteria and impaired gut health. The normal helpful bacteria within the colon is disturbed when hard stools associated with constipation persist.

Constipation can lead to abdominal pain and a decreased desire to eat as well. In cases where constipation goes unchecked, forceful straining and attempts to evacuate stool can lead to tears and bleeding around the lining of the rectum.
Stunting
A child’s degree of stunting can be evaluated by calculating a child’s height for age as a percentage of the population median. The severity of stunting is determined as a percentage of the expected height for age.
Stunting, along with wasting, is a universal marker of protein energy malnutrition in a child.
Chronic malnutrition is frequently characterised by stunting. Due to open defecation, children are unable to adequately wash themselves and consequently, a bacterial contamination of water ensues. This leads to chronic diarrhoea and malabsorption states in children. Such chronic malnutrition leads to cognitive deficiencies and insufficient brain development.

Sanitation, hygiene, and constructing more public toilets must become a priority in Pakistan.
Failing to provide our children with the basic necessity for living is inhumane, and detrimental to their well-being.
Instructing the masses on adequate hand hygiene, providing ample toileting facilities will help with combating this problem.
Open defecation must be discouraged. And, massive efforts must be implemented to create behavioural change, provide adequate facilities, and increase awareness about overall hygiene.

We are shy to discuss this topic, because we think we have more bigger problems in Pakistan , like The Kalabagh Dam, Kashmir , Palestinian etc.
And we know very well in Arabic is “Tahara” which means “Purity. “Cleanliness is half of faith”.
I never heard from any religious scholars, NGOs or political parties, that how we should solve this big problem.
I am confident we can solve this problem easily, just give awareness to public and NGOs. There are so many mosques and Government properties all around if their management "Re-Design" toilets [ entrance from the out side the property ]. Then the public can get benefit.
Together we can make a Difference :)

Has UNICEF come up with a plan to help provide these 41 million peoples in Pakistan to defecate in private in a toilet. Enough of criticism let us do some thing productive to overcome the health hazard posed by non availability of proper toilets. In my opinion mere diagnostic of a problem without providing proper medicine for cure is waste of time & insulting those undergoing the trauma.

Wow! 41 million. I had no idea there was such a big problem. Some intelligent thinking is required. Public toilets need not be complicated. They can simply be a hole in the ground (which is covered) with some sort of platform around shed around it for privacy. Have a water pump nearby too.
All this faeces can then be recycled locally to generate bio-gas for energy.
The solution to poverty doesn't have to be global or national in scale, the budgets don't need to be in the billions, we need small cheap, localised solutions.

So these toilets serves the purpose of public toilets, and they are generally in good condition, build through donations.

It was Pakistan Government job to keep track of internal issues, not UNICEF. It's a shame that Government is negligent about such basic issues like Housing, Toilets, food and Water. Pakistan should have compulsory clean toilet in every patrol pump, every food chain, every restaurant; ever school should have multiple toilets with running water. People should help neighbors in these facilities. In poor areas, government should help making a fabricated toilet attached to every two homes. It's not just toilet, putting water in the system is also important.

One way Canadian government has solved this problem is by enforcing all eating places and gas stations (petrol pums) to maintain clean toilets accessible by anyone. Since eating places and gas stations are almost every where, one is always near a toilet when needed.

Those who do not defecate openly end up polluting the ocean and internal waterways. Soap Pits are the only healthy alternative. When deprived of sunlight they grow micro-organisms that can digest soap and return purified water to mother earth. Before the Soap Pits are compartments that create fertilizer ideal for growing vegetables in. No smell comes out. This knowledge was once upon a time taught in architecture courses. If mud goes into the Soap Pit it can be permanently damaged and hence the compartments before it are designed to make sure that even if it does get to them it won't make it to the Soap Pit.

However with modern societies the disease causing effects need to be controlled. The solutions are not without side effects.The drainage systems pollute water and ground,use a lot of water and by reducing diseases adds to the population.Where people do not have proper water to drink or cook ,it is cruel to talk of drainage systems.Also like the roads ,drainage systems are a very temporary solution.The only long term solution is population control. and proper water management
