Human rights (to sanitation)

The human right to sanitation means everyone should have access to facilities that safely remove waste, protect health, and preserve dignity. It ensures people can use clean, private, and secure toilets or hygiene services without discrimination, regardless of where they live or their economic status. This right is essential for maintaining health, preventing disease, and supporting a decent quality of life. Governments and communities are responsible for providing and maintaining adequate sanitation facilities so that all individuals can enjoy this basic need equally and safely.
