Gender equality in the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation 2016, para. 4
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Gender-based violence infringes the right to life, personal safety and freedom of movement. Gender non-conforming people often feel that they need to sign away their freedom of expression since segregation by gender - including in public toilets, detention centres, relief camps and school - poses a risk of exclusion, humiliation and violence.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation
