Some 175,000 people are expected to attend the festival this year.
The WaterAid loo experience will entail the user taking care of business while looking out over the Pyramid stage.
However, thanks to a clever two-way mirror system, the user can see out but the festival goers will not be able to see in.
Florence and the Machine will headline the festival this year.
Chris Wainright of WaterAid said in a statement: "This installation will allow a brief glimpse into the lives of those who have nowhere safe to go to the toilet and often suffer the indignity of being stared at, harassed or even attacked.
"This is an issue that particularly affects women and girls who often have to wait until dark to defecate in the open, making them more vulnerable to abuse."
The installations will boast the only mirrors at the festival.
WaterAid will be campaigning at the festival from Wednesday 28th June and hopes to collect 40,000 signatures that will call on the government to sign up to support a “dedicated Sustainable Development Goal on water and sanitation” at the UN General Assembly in September.‘I’m a 29-year-old woman and my income would shock my friends if it was made public’
