Gender equality in the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation 2016, para. 45
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Human rights law requires that sanitation facilities be reliably accessible to satisfy all needs throughout the day and the night, and meet the needs of their users. A lack of adequate facilities in public spaces often leads women and girls to avoid the public and both work and school life, particularly during menstruation, when they live with disabilities or suffer from incontinence.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation
