Children wet themselves and get bladder infections, but 37 Copenhagen schools are still waiting for new toilets

At 37 schools in Copenhagen, children are wetting themselves, developing bladder infections and dealing with pinworms as they wait for badly needed toilet renovations.

The unhygienic school toilets have caused growing frustration in recent years. Parents have taken their complaints into the streets, demonstrating and submitting complaints to the municipality.

The criticism has intensified after a roadmap that had already been approved to solve the toilet problems was removed from a new budget agreement. The decision leaves the affected schools waiting for improvements despite the consequences described by parents and the article.
