Paragraph
Common violations of the human rights to water and sanitation 2014, para. 81
- Paragraph text
- Furthermore, violations of the right to sanitation in general have not received the attention they deserve. Victims of violations of the right to sanitation are among the most stigmatized and marginalized in society, and there remain taboos preventing an open discussion about the indignities linked to unhygienic conditions. The Special Rapporteur encourages all actors to frame violations related to water and sanitation more explicitly as violations of the human rights to water and sanitation, in order to draw attention to the particularities of such violations and the deprivation and indignity they often cause.
