The surprising truth of open defecation in India - Its a well known fact that most of the open defecation in the world happens in India - Learn More...

Let #Bollywoodmovie not be a victim of #antiModi syndrome http://bit.ly/2wDBYD2 via #socialchumbak By now many of us have watched the movie #toiletekpremkatha  and much of the content has been discussed over print and online media. With more than #100crore the #movie is being said to be the second most successful movie of this year. Without talking much about the script, storyline let’s get into all sorts of reviews floating in our mainstream #media on the movie. Let us look into those parts of the movie where our few popular newspapers couldn’t look into. Out of the many reviews, the movie has been called as a pro government propaganda movie. It has been criticised for propagating #pmmodi ’s #swachhbharatabhiyaan ridiculed for chamchagiri, accused of – twisting #political facts, fake #feminism and few more. Whatever the reason being, some of the positive messages that this movie conveys has not yet been given light to in our popular media culture. Victims to the anti-Modi syndrome, they fail to see the true social message this movie has attempted to convey. #TEPK #ToiletEkPremKatha #NarendraModi #opendefecation #senitation #womenrights #Women #women #womens #womenempowerment #equality #bollywoodactress #Bollywood #bollywood #bollywoodactor #bollywoodstar #narendramodi #NarendraModi #narendra_modi #modi #india #indian

In a global first, this Bollywood film addresses the problem of open defecation and access to sanitation.  It looks like it will demonstrate just how hard Behavior Change Communication really is!

Sign our Petition asking for better, i.e. safer, more affordable and cleaner public toilets for women! Let us face it. Men can pee or defecate in the open. Increasingly, our cities are becoming intolerant of this and have begun to penalise men for such acts despite the fact that there are no accessible toilets even for men. But even so, we cannot ignore the fact that women cannot pee or defecate with even a comparable degree of impunity. The penalty for women peeing or defecating in public has always been there and it has always been much higher because it is imposed automatically by society. This difference is not physiological, it is sociological There are stricter controls and proscriptions on women's bodies when it comes to sanitation. Controls put into place through social norms and cultural mores. On top of, and in spite of, that fact, there are far fewer toilets for women.
