A/67/270 hygienically and with dignity, supported by amending the relevant household surveys explicitly asking about adequate menstrual hygiene management. V. Conclusions and recommendations 75. The present report concludes that there is much to be gained by redefining progress for a post-2015 development framework, and explicitly including equality, non-discrimination and equity at its foundations. The human right to water and sanitation offers exemplary illustrations of the significance of these principles. The report underlines the need for enhanced data collection and monitoring to determine who is excluded, and calls for incentives to reduce inequalities and focus on the most disadvantaged. Current limitations in measurements or data collection should not deter the international community from committing to a robust set of goals, targets and indicators to reduce the gaps in access to water and sanitation for all. On the contrary, one of the Millennium Development Goals most significant blind spots has been precisely their indifference to inequalities. 76. Against this background, the Special Rapporteur recommends the following: (a) equity: General recommendations on equality, non-discrimination and (i) The human rights principles of equality and non-discrimination, paired with equity, must be central to the post-2015 global development agenda. This should be ensured through two mutually reinforcing approaches: by creating a stand-alone equality goal; and by ensuring that other goals, targets, and indicators are explicitly designed to reveal who is left behind and to provide incentives for progress towards ensuring access for the most disadvantaged; (ii) The stand-alone goal on equality must reach beyond income inequalities to address the root causes of exclusion and deprivation and reflect the cross-cutting nature of equality. It should consist of an overall goal on achieving equality accompanied by targets for different sectors for reducing inequalities; (iii) Goals, targets and indicators must be framed in a way to reduce inequalities and target the most disadvantaged. They must not focus solely on aggregate progress and outcomes; (iv) The future framework should aim at reducing inequality gaps while focusing on the most economically and socially deprived members of society. The equity approach should not be used alone; rather it should be complemented with the principles of non-discrimination and equality. Embracing both approaches provides an important political foothold by emphasizing areas where human rights law has traditionally been less robust — especially in relation to wealth inequities and global disparities — while also underlining the legal obligation to eliminate discrimination; 12-45653 21
