Time: 12:45 - 13:45
Convenor: WaterAid and IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre (IRC)
Room: T4

Event Description
Excreta management in several countries is done manually. This unhygienic and demeaning practice leads to extreme forms of degradation for the people involved. This side event seeks to explore efforts being made to ensure that maintenance of sanitation facilities is not built on the dehumanisation of specific groups and communities.
