享有水和卫生设施的人权（HRWS）规定，所有人都有权以不受歧视的方式安全获得水和卫生设施。然而，弱势群体的这些权利经常受到侵犯，影响到他们的健康和生活质量，加剧了社会排斥，就像无家可归者的情况一样。在巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州的贝洛奥里藏特，2013年有1827人流落街头。这项研究评估了这些人口对其获得水和卫生设施的权利的状况和看法。人们注意到，获得水和卫生设施是不稳定的，规范内容以及人权原则都受到严重侵犯。最后，我们注意到，这一群体遭受了违反《人权法》的行为，这些行为与侵犯其他权利，如城市权、居住权和健康权有关。这种侵犯行为对这一群体的经济和社会生活产生了负面影响，加剧了歧视和排斥。这项研究提请注意，必须鼓励这一群体在人权服务框架内社会参与水和环境卫生管理的决策过程，使其能够成为社会变革、增强权能、促进健康、尊严和公民身份的工具。
The human rights to water and sanitation (HRWS) state that all human beings have the right to safe access to water and sanitation in a non-discriminatory manner. However, vulnerable populations frequently have these rights violated, which impacts their health and quality of life, exacerbating social exclusion as in the case of homeless people. In Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, 1,827 people were living on the streets in 2013. This study presents the evaluation of the conditions and perceptions of this population on their rights to water and sanitation access. It has been observed that access to both water and sanitation is precarious and that the normative content, as well as the human rights principles, are highly violated. In conclusion, we observed that this group suffers violations of HRWS and that these are associated with the violation of other rights such as the right to the city, dwelling and health. Such violations have negative impacts on the economic and social life of this group, increasing discrimination and exclusion. This study draws attention to the importance of encouraging the social participation of this group in the decision-making processes of water and sanitation management within the framework of HRWS, in its capacity to be a tool for social transformation, generating empowerment, promoting health, dignity and citizenship.
