Description
Summary:
"Lack of sanitation is a pervasive human rights concern that affects health, gender equality, and other rights globally. Lack of sanitation is not only an affront to an individual's dignity, but endangers rights to health and to safe drinking water because of the contaminating nature of human feces. ... Human Rights Watch urges governments and donors working toward commitments made under Goal 6 of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development - which calls for access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all by 2020 and for an end to open defecation - to address the barriers to realizing the right to sanitation in all spheres of life"--Back cover.
