This shit pieces are in fact artificial, silicone made. Swish company Helvetas placed them at November 19, World Toilet Day at streets of Bern and Lausanne to remind that everyone deserves better places to defecate, proper toilets.

November 19 is World Toilet Day. Founded by the World Toilet Organization, World Toilet Day aims to educate the Western world on the lack of basic sanitation for more than 2.5 billion people worldwide and the preventable deadly diseases which follow.

World Toilet Organization (WTO) is a global non-profit organization committed to improving toilet and sanitation conditions worldwide. WTO is also one of the few organizations to focus on toilets instead of water, which receives more attention and resources under the common subject of sanitation. Founded in 2001 with 15 members, it now has 151 member organizations in 53 countries working towards eliminating the toilet taboo and delivering sustainable sanitation.

The theme of World Toilet Day this year was "We Deserve Better." There are 3 basic messages associated with this theme:

  • WE: Toilets deserve better social status.  WTO has been striving to elevate the status of toilets to make  them status symbols and objects of desire.  WTO speaks on behalf of toilets "WE DESERVE BETTER SOCIAL STATUS".
  • WE: The second WE are the toilet cleaners.  WTO aims to professionalize the sanitation and restroom industry and to upgrade the skill sets of the restoom cleaners.  WTO speaks on behalf of the toilet cleaners "WE DESERVE BETTER PAY, RESPECT AND PROSPECTS".
  • WE: WTO speaks on behalf of 2.5 billion toilet-less people, "WE DESERVE BETTER PLACES TO DEFECATE —PROPER TOILETS".
