New Delhi: It is quite unfortunate that the rapidly progressing India still remains home to the world’s largest number of population where open defecation is practised.

To address the issue, WaterAid, a non-profit organisation has come up with an app namely #GiveA**. The app lets a user create their own poop emojis and then share them. Using humour to attract attention is indeed a great idea.

The campaign started by WaterAid is named as the #GiveAShit campaign. The whole idea is to promote awareness about open defecation and to ensure sanitary water and toilet access worldwide.

According to a report by the United Nations, around 2.4 billion people in the world don't have access to decent sanitation and more than a billion are forced to defecate in the open, risking disease and other dangers.

No religion, no culture, no politics, no cow...

So no interest.

What a sad reality.

It is a positive development. More power to such campaigns. I am glad there are such campaigns. At least people and politicians will be shocked into doing something. I knew a guy who gave up a well paying job in Barclays and joined an NGO for cleaning up Delhi. There is no humiliation in admitting problems in your country. Indifference is the worst thing you can do.

I just don't get it, what is it about Indian culture that makes this a problem big enough that UNICEF funded what is essentially a potty training video?

Is it that there is simply a bigger focus on India because of its population? Poverty? Because I literally have not heard about this public defecation problem except referring to India. (granted only on PDF and I don't exactly follow Indian domestic problems).

Its good that the problem is being tackled vs ignored, but why is it a problem in the first place?
