Water is a basic human right for all.
So is communication and access to information - the very right to participate. We won't leave the future of water in the hands of greedy multinationals. Filho is part of the Blue Planet coalition of non-governmental organizations and trade unions challenging water privatization. The forum's decision to conduct the entire conference in English is a calculated move to exclude those who oppose the World Water Council's agenda of privatization. Other Blue Planet member organizations share Filho's outrage.
