At the Community School for Social Justice (CSSJ), students have been neglecting bathroom cleanliness. Many female students litter by throwing toilet paper on the floor and splashing water, leaving the area dirty.During school hours, both boys and girls often share the same bathroom. In many cases, girls carelessly dispose of soiled sanitary napkins in the trash, even though they know other students will use the bathroom afterward. The boys aren’t much better, and they often leave the toilet seat dirty. The bathrooms are also in poor condition and often smell bad, likely due to improper use by some students. The trash cans are always overflowing, and the toilets often don’t have enough water to flush properly, leaving them dirty. Not all handwashing stations have running water, which makes it difficult for students to wash their hands after using them. This can lead to bacteria being on their hands and being transferred elsewhere, for example, to their mouths, since some students tend to touch their faces. There is also no soap available for hygiene, which can be harmful to our health. What I did was a demonstration (it’s not real) just so you could see what really happens in the bathrooms and how neglected the students are in these bathrooms.
