"It's not that people are helpless, aren't able to articulate their demands or are unaware of their rights. They are advocating & engaging their governments. But they are unheard, they are ignored" - @VirginiaRoaf (PhD student at @UniversityLeeds) #HearingTheUnheardHRWS #ASC2023

Social exclusion, environmental discrimination, and systemic #racism have led to unequal access to water and sanitation. Recognizing the problem is a crucial step, writes @inga_winkler. #UNWaterConference2023 justsecurity.org/85706/unive…

Universal Rights to Water and Sanitation in the Global North is a Myth

Recognizing that universal access to water is a myth is the first step toward ensuring water and sanitation rights for all.

Replying to @AipWater @DutchMFA @GWPSAF
Yes. And this is why @sanwatforall & @IRCWASH are championing "presidential compacts" for safe water and sanitation. Because the evidence shows that we accelerate progress when these human rights and critical public services are high on the national development agenda

SWA-supported Presidential Compacts have clear commitments: increased budgets, new sources of financing, improved climate resiliency, and strategies to end waterborne diseases and ensure that even the most rural residents have equal access to water and sanitation services.

"My wish for upcoming #COPs: sanitation not to be left out of the equation in upcoming COPs, and to have a strong focus on climate mitigation, which is really crucial. We have a lot of work left to do, particularly within our water and sanitation sector." -@CatarinadeAlbuq @devex
