Manual scavenging: A forgotten reality in sanitation

Side event at the Stockholm World Water Week, organized by Wateraid and IRC.
Tuesday- August 18, 12:45 - 13:45, Room T4

Millions of people still collect excreta manually. This unhygienic and demeaning practice leads to extreme forms of degradation for those involved. This side event seeks to explore efforts being made to ensure that maintenance of sanitation facilities is not built on the dehumanisation of specific groups and communities.
