摘要

This paper presents a discussion of justice issues in the world’s largest sanitation program, namely the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) in India, with a focus on the SBM’s two aspects of toilet provisioning and ensuring toilet usage. Data for this paper was collected via semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with SBM implementers deployed from the grassroots to the apex level in the Indian state of Jharkhand. We argue, based on our findings, that though the SBM was an effectively implemented sanitation program, it is less clear if it is a human rights success story.
