[Pedro Arrojo Agudo, UN Special Rapporteur @SRWatSan]

My report on gender equality is clear: ignoring the specific needs of women and gender non-conforming persons is a failure to realize the human rights to water and sanitation.

All needs, and of all persons, must be taken into account.

[UN-Water @UN_Water]

Water can help fight climate change.

💧Wetlands soak up carbon dioxide from the air.
💧Vegetation protects against flooding and erosion.
💧Rainwater can be stored for dry periods.
💧Wastewater can be reused.
💧Climate-smart agriculture.

@SRWatSan @UN_Water @UNHumanRights @WaterLex @WSSCCouncil @UNECE @UNICEFwater @UNISON_global @PSIglobalunion @WASHUnited Around 2.2 billion people lack safe water, while 4.2 billion people lack safe toilets. This is not an inconvenience; it is a grotesque injustice.

People have the power to change this. #ClaimYourWaterRights will mobilise people to demand their rights to safe water & sanitation.

@EndWaterPoverty @SRWatSan @UN_Water @UNHumanRights @WaterLex @WSSCCouncil @UNECE @UNICEFwater @UNISON_global @PSIglobalunion @WASHUnited Joining you, as the Africa people's claim their right to water and sanitation

[End Water Poverty @EndWaterPoverty]

On #HumanRightsDay we are excited to launch #ClaimYourWaterRights: a global mobilisation campaign that will take on governments & private companies who deny people's rights to safe water & sanitation.

@EndWaterPoverty @SRWatSan @UN_Water @UNHumanRights @WaterLex @WSSCCouncil @UNECE @UNICEFwater @UNISON_global @PSIglobalunion @WASHUnited To make the human right to water justiciable, the first step is to clearly define what constitutes progressive realization. But as it stands, like @PatriciaMbote1 puts it, progressive realization is just an euphemism for never to be achieved. @DrOdote @caselapchss

[International Water Association @IWAHQ]

The #HRWS is not simply a concept, says Amanda Loeffen @aloeffen from @WaterLex - have the rigths in place they boot economy. #private sector is key but governments need to take a strong stand.

Opportunities just don’t happen - we need to create them. Action is needed to inform global practice and policy. Welcome by Kala Vairavamoorthy - @IWAHQ conference in #Colombo

[WaterLex @WaterLex]

The #humanright to sanitation is an international binding norm. The obligation to protect, respect and realise is not only for governments. It should not only be a ‘nice to have’ but it can also make good business sense. @toiletboard
