India is home to the world’s largest number of stunted children due to a lack of toilets, dirty water and poor hygiene, according to a new study published on Tuesday.
With one out of three women worldwide lacking access to safe toilets, it is a moral imperative to end open defecation to ensure women and girls are not at risk of assault and rape simply because they lack a sanitation facility, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Wednesday.
UN Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson on Wednesday called upon the international community to "break the silence" on open defecation and aid the 2.5 billion people across the world that live without basic sanitation.
