Participation in the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation 2014, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- Efforts must enable effective participation. For example, a mode of engagement that relies on writing would marginalize the illiterate. Where approaches such as questionnaires are used, it is essential to recognize the risks of elite capture and counter it with other opportunities such as simple versions of a questionnaire and oral discussions. Even when they are able to take part in meetings, marginalized groups often exercise self-censorship, being intimidated either by the presence of others with "higher" status or formal procedures. One approach to avoid this is starting the process with more homogenous groups for discussing particular issues, e.g., groups of women or of young people, and then bring their input into the larger process. At the international level, the United Nations Environment Programme engages with "major groups" rather than civil society as a whole, including children and youth, farmers, indigenous peoples, women, and workers and trade unions.
