World Toilet Day: Thursday 19th November

I did not know that.
Their report says this, among other things:
"Hygienic, private bathrooms with clean, running water, sinks and soap will help women and girls manage menstruation safely and with dignity"

(19th November is also International Men's Day. This is not really relevant.)

Fantastic film; thank you x

Thank you, I'll watch this tomorrow

Absolutely fantastic

Thanks, OP, will watch later. I've read a little about how important toilets/sanitation is when it comes to health and hygiene.

Thank you for this.

I read about hat happens to women while live in parts of India and have to use railway lines for latrines. <shudder>

Excellent video. Really well researched.

Thank you for doing this!

This is an amazing video. Thanks for doing this. Really useful to pass on to other people, politicians, policy makers and so on.

That's a fantastic video, thank you!

And yes, sending something to the consultation is a good idea.

I thought UN women were the ones who say that woman is a formless blob or whatever.

They can't have it both ways but many orgs seem to be doing this and hoping people won't notice...

Just googled

UN women on Twitter

'"Trans women are women at the end of the day. Every woman is a woman. Women are multifaceted, intergenerational, international. They are limitless, formless ... women are the world.” -
@aaronphilipx'

They are limitless, formless ... women are the world.”

What are women then? What are they waffling on about?

Unwomen have lost the plot. Along with many others sadly.

Every woman is a woman. Women are ... limitless, formless ... women are the world.”

It's just so utterly meaningless! It doesn't DO anything! Of course every woman is a fucking woman, a word is a word. As for limitless- perhaps they are trying to say that sexism should limit women's lives?, but it's so woolly and fucking dim they can't apparently formulate that simple statement . As for formless, that is just fucking weird. In what way are we formless - in that I have less waist definition than I used to? That my hairstyle is a bit inbetweeny-growing-out? Am I a miasma or some kind of volatile organic compound? What do they actually fucking mean? I'm so sick of this nonsense.

Gosh, what a fantastic videos! Presents the whole case succinctly and clearly and without waffle. Thanks for posting.
And Happy World Toilet Day everyone, mners fighting the good fight.

So do women exist as a sex class with their own needs or not, UN?

they leverage us as a sex class when they want to say oh look aren't we doing good stuff. And then deny us a category of our own when it suits them.

Loads of orgs are doing this and it's pissing me off.

Brilliant video! I’ll share it tomorrow.

Just bumping this. WTD is tomorrow.

I'm trying to harness my brave and share the video on my FB and twitter tomorrow.

Is it transphobic to say "some males..." I don't think it is, but, I know that it will be immediately be flagged by some of my friends.

I really wish we could properly discuss the behaviour of some of the people she features in the video. The LGBTQIA+ communities, and people I know, don't want to be associated with the likes of JY - and yet I've never seen any of them condemn JY's antics.

This is superb. Thank you, OP.
