It is good to note that the government has undertaken a special project to bring 10 towns and cities of the country under integrated sanitation for ensuring proper healthy environment particularly for the poor and marginalized people.
The main objective of the project is to ensure sanitation infrastructure services as well as professional protection of sanitation workers, public engagement and prevention of public health and environmental pollution and the spread of waterborne diseases by eliminating the negative risks of climate change.
The objective of the project is also to ensure universal access to safe, innovative, inclusive, climate and disaster prevention sanitation, health care services for the poor and marginalized people.
One of the goals of Bangladesh is to provide safe sanitation for all by 2030. Sewage management is crucial for sustainable sanitation management.

Achieving the SDG target of 6.2 is essential to ensure the safe operation of safe sanitation facilities and services, which can only be achieved through proper management of complete sanitation services.
Women and children living in urban areas, especially in slums and informal settlements, are at risk of waterborne diseases due to unsafe drinking water and unhealthy environment.
Even though sanitation is a human right recognized by the United Nations, we urgently need massive investment and innovation to quadruple progress all along the ‘sanitation chain’, from toilets to the transport, collection and treatment of
human waste.
To safeguard this basic right legal action should be taken against owners of buildings who do not follow rules while installing sewerage lines. More measures need to be taken to build public toilets for citizens and CCTV cameras should be installed outside the public toilets in order to ensure security.
