Latrines are simple toilet facilities designed for the disposal of human waste. They can be found in various settings, including rural areas, military camps, and during outdoor events. Typically, latrines consist of a pit or a seat over a hole, allowing waste to drop into the ground. They are essential for maintaining hygiene and preventing the spread of diseases. In many parts of the world, especially in developing countries, access to proper sanitation is limited. Organizations like WHO and UNICEF work to improve sanitation facilities, including latrines, to enhance public health and promote better living conditions.
