Water justice is a series of movements surrounded by the central notion that water is a human right. These movements under the umbrella term of water justice seek through social and political action to ensure that accessible, clean, and safe water is available to all populations. Water Justice movements understand marginalized communities are disproportionately affected by health issues caused by poor access to safe and clean water and often times work with these communities to provide solutions. [1] Globally, water justice movements have worked together to fulfill their goals and to strengthen their campaign.[2]
