Regional and global situation impacting public toilets in Belarus

[edit]

An issue in developing countries is toilet access in schools.  Only 46% of schools in developing countries have them.[3]

Many countries that used to belong to the Soviet Union require payment to an attendant to access.  The money is then used to defray the cost of cleaning and maintenance.  The fee does not go towards providing services in the public toilet.[4]
