The Human Right to Water and Sanitation is still new and needs interpretation as well as implementation in order to come to life. This training material help to understand the what are human rights, what is specific to the Human Right to Water and Sanitation, and what should be done to create awarness and advocate for it. 

For different countries different solutions are appropriate, but a certain common standard is essential as human rights are universal. However, when taking a practical approach on the realisation of human rights many different tools and ways are available and possible based on local needs, capacities and resources.
