Abstract:	"By now we all know the grim reality – that over 40 percent of the global population or 2.5 billion people live without access to improved sanitation. And we know that sanitation is important for health, dignity, environmental protection, social and economic development. But perhaps what is not as tangible in this dialogue is that, underlying the statistics and facts, are real people, real lives– and more specifically those of young children – that bear the brunt of this global crisis."
