在印度，每年有超过68000个5岁以下的儿童因为不安全的水和恶劣的卫生设施而死于腹泻，有大约7.7亿人需要卫生的厕所。厕所不仅关乎健康与环境卫生，露天排便也会使女性面临被强奸的风险。2014年莫迪就任以来，印度首次推出了“洁净印度”的项目计划，根据这一计划，印度所有区域将会在2019年消除露天排便的现象。

Culture｜ Bollywood spotlights India's sanitation crisis in new film, Toilet: A Love Story.

Toilet: A Love Story is to be released on August 11 in India, which is the world's first feature film focusing on poor sanitation and toilets. The film is a satirical comedy which follows Keshav and Jaya, whose new marriage is challenged by lack of a toilet. Their fight for a toilet inside their home - which is considered unclean according to social norms - quickly becomes a struggle for social change as they campaign for functioning toilets for the local community. The film is set to make a large impact in India, with the trailer for the film receiving over 25 million viewers in just two days of its release online

68,000 children under five die annually due to diarrheal diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation, and around 770 million Indians require proper toilets. As well as being a major health, hygiene and environmental concern, open defecation also leaves women and girls at risk of sexual assault. Modi has prioritized sanitation since sweeping to power in 2014 and aims to provide toilets for all and end open defecation in the country by 2019.
