Stigma and the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation 2012, para. 73
Paragraph
Paragraph text
For example, some Slovenian municipalities have taken measures in response to the lack of access to water and sanitation in many Roma communities. Previously, either ownership or authorized occupation of a home was required to receive municipal services, thus the unauthorized status of a settlement was a barrier to services. The municipalities of Prekmurje region have waived these strict regulations, which has resulted in all but 3 of the 38 Roma settlements gaining access to services.
Legal status
