Open defecation is the human practice of defecating outside, in the open environment. People may choose fields, bushes, forests, ditches, canals or other open space for defecation. They do so because either they do not have a toilet at home or due to traditional cultural practices.[1] Even if toilets are available, behaviour change efforts may still be needed to promote the use of toilets. The practice is common where sanitation infrastructure is not available.

About 892 million people, or 12 percent of the global population, practice open defecation.[2]Seventy-six percent (678 million) of the 892 million people practicing open defecation in the world live in just seven countries. India is the country with the highest number of people practicing open defecation, around 525 million people.[2]
