Does no one else remember the Take The Poo to the Loo video UNICEF produced to target this problem in India? It seems like if they have to go that far, it's a major problem. https://youtu.be/_peUxE_BKcU https://youtu.be/_peUxE_BKcU
- parennoob 10y agoThis video is a colossal waste of money by UNICEF. Reasons? 1. Most people in India who defecate in the open don't understand English. A lot of them probably don't have a television, or a permanent home for that matter. Homelessness in India is a real problem that receives zero attention from, well, everybody. Tens of thousands of people have migrated from the rural areas to cities in search of homes, and end up living in shacks with no running water or proper plumbing. 2. The open defecation is a direct holdover from cultural aspects several hundred years old (defecate far away from your home, who wants that shit in here?) that have an uneasy coexistence with modern western-style toilets that are located inside one's home. This subject has to be broached with careful scientific explanations and benefit analyses, not a ham-fisted cartoon that treats people like idiots saying "Hey there is poo everywhere! Take it to the loo!"
