Summary
Recommendations -- Methodology -- I. Background -- II. Findings -- III. The Brazilian government's human rights obligations -- Acknowledgments.
"This report documents gaps in the Brazilian authorities' response that have a harmful impact on women and girls and leave the general population vulnerable to continued outbreaks of serious mosquito-borne illnesses. The outbreak hit as the country faced its worst economic recession in decades, forcing authorities to make difficult decisions about allocating resources. But even in earlier times of economic growth, government investments in water and sanitation infrastructure were inadequate. Years of neglect contributed to the water and wastewater conditions that allowed the proliferation of the Aedes mosquito and the rapid spread of the virus, Human Rights Watch found."--Publisher's description.
