In relation to target 4.7 on education for sustainable development, there is evidence showing that the planning, execution and evaluation of sanitation interventions is often carried out without recognition of cultural specificities which actually reinforce the marginalisation of indigenous populations due to a lack of culturally differentiated care (Pena & Heller, 2007;Teixeira & da Silva, 2019).…”
