Limited attention to tackling neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) through the lenses of gender, equity, ethnicity and human rights inadvertently undermines progress due to the exclusion of subgroups in populations living in conditions of vulnerability.

Gender, equity, human rights and ethnic equality for NTD programmes should therefore be incorporated in multisectoral engagements.
