Safe toilets could prevent sexual assault and sickness, say South Africa’s poor | Alex Duval Smith | Global development | guardian.co.uk

The risk of rape and sexual assault – as Mbuku said – comes hand in hand with the sickness that comes from poor sanitation. Campaigners at the summit said more than 10 million South Africans are affected.
Safe, hygienic toilets – sanitation and waste disposal – is a basic human right. The issue has sparked more than 500 protests since 2004 by poor people across South Africa. And this issue is now drawing civil society groups into action in the same way that the controversy over South Africans’ access to HIV drugs did in the 1990s.
