Governments must treat water, sanitation as human rights priorities –Emelonye.
International human rights scholar, Professor Uchenna Emelonye, has called on African governments to treat access to water and sanitation as urgent human rights priorities, warning that women and girls suffer the most when such systems fail.
Emelonye made the call while speaking at the African Union Pre-Summit Consultative Meeting on Gender Mainstreaming, held under the theme: “Advancing Gender-Responsive Water and Sanitation Policies for Sustainable Development in Africa.”
