Summary
The human right to water and sanitation emerged as a rallying cry for protestors and a legal tool to challenge privatization of water services. This work explores how the right to water and sanitation is fulfilled in different contexts, whether neoliberal policies like privatization pose a threat to the right to water, and whether rights fulfillment leads to meaningful social change.
