WTD and some more
Before you snigger it away as a marketing gimmick, let me tell you it is being followed the world over and seems a valid cause.
Imagine
- going by local train in Mumbai in the wee morning hours and not finding squatters
- as a lady if you could go on a long bus trip and fine good sanitation in India
- a dry and clean loo with necessary tissues in place in common public places- multiplex/ airport/ railway station/ theatre
- provision for the handicapped, senior citizens and the young including diaper changing facilities
How do you think we can celebrate it?
It is Anti Child Abuse day- Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse Day as well- go here and here for more on that.

Thanks for spreading awareness. Toilets & sanitation facilities are sorely lacking in our country
Hi, you have a nice blog. it is very interesting to read about your daughters. i have two boys and it is interesting to know about girls their age group. i went through some of your posts and you give good information about kids events in chennai. Though i dont live in chennai anymore, it makes me very happy :) will be a regular reader of your blog now :)
LOled when I saw it in the paper today. But you've made relevant points here. Thought of it when I saw a traffic policeman and an auto driver take their 'breaks' into a drain.
Off your read your posts abt CSA. It's so common and happening in so many families around us...and some ppl think it's some Western thing:(
so relevant. There's an excellent NGO in Bangalore called Enfold India that goes to many schools and does skits and role play to teach the kids abt CSA. Here's their link:

I laughed too but I can understand the gravity of the situation - how is declaring a day going to help though?
thanks all

poppy- build awareness like with all other "Days"? a not so gentle reminder?
