Correct Answer: C
Detailed Solution
Every year, 19 November is observed as World Toilet Day. Its objective is to raise awareness about the need for safe sanitation and encourage action to address the global sanitation crisis.
The United Nations recognized World Toilet Day as an official UN observance in 2013. Its campaign is coordinated by UN-Water.
World Toilet Day is particularly associated with Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), which aims to ensure the availability and sustainable management of clean water and sanitation for all.
The effects of unsafe sanitation are not limited to health; they also affect education, livelihoods, dignity and the environment. Therefore, sanitation is linked to both public health and human development.
