The public toilet at Lane 62 Tran Quy Cap (Dong Da District, Hanoi) is seriously degraded. Ms. Tran Thi Xuan (66 years old), who is currently the caretaker here, said that this public toilet was built nearly 60 years ago, divided into two areas for men and women. Each toilet area is equipped with 3 toilets and 2 bathrooms. Photo: Hong Ngoc.

“I have worked here for 25 years, working from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. Because this place was built a long time ago and has not been renovated, it has seriously degraded; the doors are infested with termites, some doors can be closed, some can only be closed slightly...”, Ms. Xuan said. In the photo is a bucket of water to flush after each toilet visit. Photo: Hong Ngoc.

A corner of the women's restroom has been used as a storage area for some shipping units at Le Duan station. Photo: Hong Ngoc.
