Paragraph
Stigma and the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation 2012, para. 78
- Paragraph text
- Stigma plays an insidious role in perpetuating, "justifying" and ultimately creating impunity for human rights violations. It also serves to silence and erase issues, and exclude individuals and communities from access to water and sanitation, preventing some people from exercising their civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights. Most often, stigmatized individuals are the ones whose lives and health are placed directly in jeopardy by lack of access to water and sanitation.
