Manual Scavenging ...

The employment of manual scavengers and construction of Dry latrines (Prohibition Act)1993
prescribes imprisonment up to one year or a fine of rs.2,000 for employing manual scavengers ....but in Tamilnadu....more than 35,561 arunthathiyars still working as manual scavengers......
this is a denial of Right to life, Right to equality, Right to Dignity of Arunthathiyars

manual scavenging in Tamilnadu India.

Decent Work is a Human Right: Manual Scavenging is one of the most
extreme forms of caste discrimination and the states complicity in its
continued practice is an unacceptable human rights scandal.
