Dear colleagues,
 
Many of you already use the human rightsto 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: Openhour” on Monday, 31 October, at 10am CET to share, discuss and learn with and from each other. Register here: bit.ly/3gpxjgK

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.
