最近，一位伦敦的母亲莎拉制作了与众不同的十二月日历来对抗厕所相关的耻辱感，希望能唤起公众对无障碍厕所和残障人士更衣设施的关注。

       莎拉的儿子哈德利患有脑瘫，多年来她要帮儿子在无障碍厕所如厕，因为更衣设施不完善这件事十分困难。她由此受到启发创作了这些坐在马桶上的穿着圣诞主题的照片。她经常不得不把儿子放在地上才能帮他穿脱衣服，这种行为是“恐怖、没有尊严、不卫生和危险的”。在过去三年中她和公益活动“更衣之处”合作，帮助无法使用标准厕所的人。

       英国现在有1044个可供哈德利使用的无障碍厕所，而普通厕所有几百万个。莎拉相信只有对商家施加更多压力，才能改变法律，让所有的大型公共建筑、特别是售卖食物饮料的地方进行真正的改变，增设无障碍设施。

Philanthropy |  Mum creates toilet-themed advent calendar to prove we need better disabled toilets

Recently, one mum Sarah in London is creating an advent calendar with a difference this December to tackle the stigma around all things toilet-related, in hopes of raising awareness of the lack of toilet and changing facilities offered to disabled people.

Sarah was inspired to create the calendar, which sees her pose on her toilet wearing various Christmas-themed outfits, after having struggled to change Hadley in the disabled toilets for years due to inadequate changing facilities. Often she's forced to lie Hadley down on the floor to prepare him for the toilet or to change him and get him re-clothed, which Sarah says is ‘horrendous, undignified, unhygienic and dangerous’.For the past three years, she has been working with Changing Places, a campaign focusing on helping all of those who are unable to use standard accessible toilets.

There are currently only 1,044 specialist toilets in the UK that Hadley can actually use, while there are millions for everyone else. Sarah believes that only real change will come when more pressure is put on businesses to change laws and ensure that Changing Places are mandatory in all large public buildings, particularly anywhere that sells food and drink.
