In the 21st century, over a billion people worldwide still lack access to clean water, and nearly three billion have insufficient sanitation, a situation that's both humiliating and unjust. It's high time we recognize water, hygiene, and sanitation as fundamental human rights, as this could significantly enhance life quality and reduce poverty. In India, the Sulabh International Social Service Organisation, led by Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak, has been dedicated to liberating scavengers from the dehumanizing practice of manual excreta handling for five decades, becoming a respected NGO in the process. This book narrates the story of Dr. Pathak, a social reformer striving to transform centuries-old social inequality without conflict, offering a refreshing vision for our times.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Even in the 21st century, over one billion people around the world still lack access to safe drinking water, and nearly three billion lack adequate sanitation. This situation is not only humiliating but morally unjust. It is high time that sanitation is recognized as a fundamental human right. By recognizing water, hygiene, and sanitation as basic human rights, the quality of life can improve, and poverty can be significantly reduced. In India, the Sulabh International Social Service Organisation, a non-governmental organization, took on the task of restoring human rights and dignity to scavengers by freeing them from the dehumanizing practice of manually cleaning and carrying human excreta on their heads. Today, five decades later, the organization has become one of the most respected NGOs in the sanitation sector, both nationally and internationally. Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak, the founder of the Sulabh movement, is a true crusader of the post-independence era, dedicated to liberating scavengers and rehabilitating them. For centuries, a section of society was ostracized, not just because of their caste, but due to the "unclean" nature of their work. Dr. Pathak believed that this man-made social inequality, rooted in a flawed social structure, convention, religious orthodoxy, and prejudice, could be transformedwithout conflict or war. This book tells the story of a social reformer who is striving to make this change a reality. His life and mission, placed in perspective, offer a refreshing and insightful vision for these extraordinary times. Codice articolo 160065
