Today is celebrated as World Toilet Day (November 19th). This day is designated by the United Nations to raise & promote awareness on public toilets and sanitation for billions of people around us.
@Roopesh contributed towards accessible gender neutral toilet
As a local guide, our simple contributions from adding accessible
toilets to eco-friendly
toilets on Google Maps contribute towards public health, accessibility and a cleaner world. When a user can find a safe and accessible toilet on Google Maps, that’s the real impact of our contribution.
Let’s celebrate this toilet day by looking back at inspiring and incredible contributions and stories by our community around the public toilets & sanitation.
Community in Action 
Our commitment to mapping the world has extended to this vital topic. We had many amazing and inspiring stories highlighting sanitations and accessibility.
Spotlighting public sanitation inspires our community to contribute valuable and accessible toilets on Google Maps, just like how @NituGogoi shares about efforts provided for women by spotting and mapping Pink Toilets.
@Shaunak also shared about the real-time benefit of the contribution on places offering Free Public Toilets which highlights the impact on mapping free public accessible toilets.
To celebrate Connect’s 8th birthday celebration
, @shaileno visited the Museum of Toilet
which gave importance and promoted the awareness of sanitation.
We support local inclusive businesses on Google Maps, as @Gouri.PS included her experience and note on having a gender neutral toilet
during her visit to a local chai shop.
Local Guides helps by contributing and updating Gender Neutral Toilets attributes and verifying its presence which turns Google Maps into a reliable source for a safe and welcoming platform.
Check out how @Kumaarsantosh has helped in How to edit Gender Neutral bathroom/toilet attributes on Google Maps.
Do you add any public accessible toilets or include toilets in your review during your visit to a local cafe on Google Maps? Share your stories & experiences on how you support & promote sanitation on Google Maps.
