Public toilets[edit]

A 2021 study found there were two public toilets per 100,000 people.[1]

The first primitive toilets were created in Mesopotamia.[2]

Regional and global situation impacting public toilets in Iran[edit]

Many schools around the world in 2018 did not have toilets, with the problem particularly acute in parts of Africa and Asia.  Only one in five primary schools on earth had a toilet and only one in eight secondary schools had public toilets.[3]

In many places in rural Asia, having toilets in a house is considered unclean.  As a result, toilets are often located outside the main building for a residence or people practice open defecation because of a lack of toilet access in their homes.[4]
