Join The World’s Longest Toilet Queue and mobilize to End Water Poverty
To mark World Water Day on 22 March and to influence a High-Level Meeting on Sanitation and Water, the international “End Water Poverty” campaign invites GCAP National Coalitions and Constituency groups to join a mass global mobilization and form ‘The World’s Longest Toilet Queue’.
20-22 March 2010 will see events take place in over 50 countries, in which thousands of campaigners will stand in solidarity with – and demand action for - the 2.5 billion people who are still waiting in line for their right to a safe and dignified toilet.
As well as engaging political leaders, the public and the media, together they will add up to break the Guinness World Record for 'The World's Longest Queue'.
You can join this global effort by organizing an event in your area, or by joining one that is taking part already.
To learn how to organize an event, please have a look at the campaign guide, as well as the official website – www.worldtoiletqueue.org. All materials are available in English, French and Spanish.
You can also join and promote a ‘virtual queue’ online and add your name to our petition. Click here to add your name.
“Your voice is crucial in preventing the deaths of 4,000 children who die each day from water and sanitation-related diarrhoea alone. Join us in creating a World We Want, with sanitation and water for all,” says Steve Cockburn, International Campaign Coordinator with End Water Poverty.
If you would like to take part or find out more, including if you want to join up with others in your area, don’t hesitate to contact Steve at stevecockburn[at]endwaterpoverty.org.
