About this document
Sanitation Workers by Harsh Arya is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the issue of manual scavenging in India, where Dalits are employed to clean human waste without proper safety equipment. This leads to many deaths each year from hazardous working conditions. While laws have been passed to address this, implementation has been poor and the practice continues widely. Official data underreports the true scale, and government programs rely on this labor without ensuring worker protections.
