Dear colleagues, 
Many of you already use the human rights to water and sanitation in your work. Many others would like to do so (more). And all of us have questions, important experiences or face challenges. Wherever we work, we can learn from each other by asking questions and sharing our experiences. Please join “Make Rights Real talk: Open hour” next Thursday, 9 June, at 11am CEST on  Zoom  to share, discuss and learn with and from each other. Waiting for you will be two experts on working with the human rights to water and sanitation:

• Sareen Malik, Executive Secretary of the African Civil Society Network on Water and Sanitation (ANEW)
• Lajana Manandhar, Regional Coordinator of Freshwater Action Network South-Asia (FANSA) and Executive Director of Lumanti, Nepal

 The “MRR talk: Open hour” is an online talk to discuss anything related to working with the human rights to water and sanitation at the local level. There is no set agenda – simply join at any time and listen in, ask a question or share an experience. The discussion will be moderated by me,  Hannah Neumeyer (Make Rights Real). If you can’t make it this time, then look out for announcements in the future. MRR talk: Open hour happens every second month and has a great panel of experts. For more information, see here:  human-rights-to-water-and-sanitation.org/mrrtalk-openhour/  What is Make Rights Real?Make Rights Real is an initiative dedicated to advancing the use of human rights in practice in the WASH sector at local level. They want to show how the human rights to water and sanitation can be used at local level, so that government institutions take more and better action to realise services for all.

 Best wishes, Hannah
