description This article analyzes that Brazil and the world advanced over the last decade in relation to the percentage of households with access to toilets and also towards the end of open defecation. These progresses are in large part due to pressure from global initiatives such as the Millennium Development Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals. Although Brazil improved its situation, it is important to verify whether this advance occurred in a way that respects the equi ty sought by health and sanitation policies. By using data from the last two censuses, the year from which the universalization of access to toilets and the year from which there will be no open defecation in Brazil were estimated. With the support of thematic maps, it was possible to identify that the end of open defecation and the universalization of access to toilets will n ot take place in an equitable manner in the Brazilian territory.
