Gender equality in the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation 2016, para. 27 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Women fear violence by men in public toilets and open defecation sites, and along the routes leading to both. Some women and girls looking for a place to defecate have reportedly been exposed to rude remarks, brick-throwing, stabbing and rape. Gender-based violence also occurs at places to collect water, bathe and wash clothes. Abuse of boys is reportedly a common and underrecognized phenomenon, and one that receives even less attention, as shame and cultural restrictions or taboos concerning homosexuality deters boys from reporting such abuse. | Special Rapporteur on the human rights to safe drinking water and sanitation | Special Procedures' report |
