One out of three women around the world lack access to safe toilets. As a result they face disease, shame and potential violence when they seek a place to defecate.
世界上有三分之一的婦女沒有安全的廁所。因此，她們在尋找如廁的地方時，會感染疾病，遭到羞辱和可能遭受暴力。
A staggering 1.25 billion women and girls would enjoy greater health and increased safety with improved sanitation. Evidence also shows safe and clean toilets encourage girls to stay in school.
改善環境衛生將增進12.5億婦女和女孩的健康，加強她們的安全。還有證據表明，安全和干凈的廁所有助于女孩繼續上學。
We have a moral imperative to end open defecation and a duty to ensure women and girls are not at risk of assault and rape simply because they lack a sanitation facility. That is why the theme for this year’s World Toilet Day focuses on “Equality, Dignity and the Link Between Gender-Based Violence and Sanitation.”
我們有結束被迫露天如廁情況的道義責任，并有義務確保婦女女童不會僅因缺乏環衛設施而可能遭到襲擊和強奸。因此，今年世界廁所日的主題是“平等、尊嚴和性別暴力與環境衛生有關”。
Addressing the sanitation challenge requires a global partnership. This is especially crucial as countries work to formulate a sustainable development agenda for the period beyond the year 2015. Meeting the goal of sanitation for all will involve targeted policies, increased financing, and comprehensive planning underpinned by strong political will. Communities must be supported as they strive to become open defecation-free. Advocacy efforts must step up and taboos must be broken. These are the objectives of the UN Call to Action on Sanitation to mobilize global, national and community efforts to improve hygiene, change social norms and eliminate open defecation by 2025.
要應對環境衛生的挑戰，就必須建立全球伙伴關系。這在各國努力擬定2015年后可持續發展議程之際尤為重要。為了實現人人享有環境衛生的目標，必須在展現強大政治意愿的基礎上，制定有針對性的政策，增加資金和進行綜合規劃。必須協助社區消除戶外如廁的情況。必須大力開展宣傳工作和打破禁忌。這些是聯合國環境衛生行動呼吁的目標，以便動員國際社會、各個國家和社區做出努力，加強個人衛生，改變社會習俗，到2025年時消除戶外如廁的情況。
On World Toilet Day let us spare no effort to bring equality, dignity and safety to women and girls around the world.
值此世界廁所日，讓我們竭盡全力，讓世界各地的婦女和女童享有平等、尊嚴和安全。
