This article undertakes a human rights impact assessment of Total Sanitation Campaign which was launched to eliminate the practice of open defecation and block the fecal-oral transmission of diseases. Overall this program has been found to be sound from the human rights perspective; however, there are some implementation issues which can restrict the human rights of the people, especially, the right to health.
