Summary

The first issue of 2010 focuses on perspectives on rights and also on Right to Water and Sanitation (RTWS). India WASH Forum attempts to bring together perspectives that are often missed in the mainstream discourse. An article, “Understanding Rights,” offers clarity on rights in a historical and contemporary perspective. Commentary is offered based on a paper “Rights Based Approach and Right to Water and Sanitation.” This update also includes a “Statement of Shared Intent” from the RTWS Workshop as well as an excerpt from an article on rural drinking water supply.

About the author

In 2008 the India WASH Coalition became the India WASH Forum. The forum promotes research and documentation of WASH issues; supports technical programmes; and engages monitoring, evaluation, and advocacy (e.g. through media) to influence government policy. In 2008 the forum studied the Total Sanitation Campaign’s impact in five Indian states and supported the regional conference, SacoSan III.
