BBC News - In pictures: My toilet
According to the United Nations, 2.5 billion people do not have access
to proper sanitation. To mark World Toilet Day on 19 November, a series
of photographs have been produced documenting how access to a toilet, or
lack of one, affects the lives of women around the world. http://bbc.in/1xHAkbw
Meseret, a restaurant manager in Addis Ababa, shares a
one-bedroom government house with her two children, two sisters and
mother. She was widowed nine years ago when her husband was shot during
the aftermath of the 2005 elections. Her shared toilet is a long way
away, so for safety the family use the side yard next to their house.
