We have toilets that flush, clean water to wash our hands, and sewage systems that safely dispose of waste. But for billions worldwide, these luxuries are out of reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lack of proper sanitation affects health, safety, and dignity. It perpetuates cycles of poverty, as families spend precious resources on medical bills instead of education or livelihoods. It impacts girls\u2019 education, as many drop out of school when they hit puberty due to the lack of private sanitation facilities. Moreover, it perpetuates gender inequality when women and girls face the added risk of harassment and assault while seeking open defecation spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc\/upsc-cse-gs-integrated-course?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Banner&amp;utm_campaign=GS+Integrated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42401 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8.png 1280w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8-1170x274.png 1170w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/8-585x137.png 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1280\/300;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_the_WTO_Do\"><\/span>What Does the WTO Do?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The WTO isn\u2019t just about building toilets; it\u2019s about changing mindsets and policies.
