Friday 22 February | 13:30-17:00 | Meeting room 1.6 The missing link in the sanitation chain Improving the conditions of sanitation workers

Fullscreen

Without sanitation workers, the sanitation service chain will not function. Their invisible working conditions, in addition to recurrent news items, e.g., “sewer deaths”, “pit collapse” and disease burdens are all part of a structural problem that requires a SYSTEMATIC SOLUTION.

In this workshop, we present data and insights on the situation of sanitation workers across Africa, Asia and Latin America. We will reflect on how to address occupational health and safety more systematically and effectively. And will consider the importance of reliable data, regulation and political priority, as well as workers' capacity and perceptions. We hope that participants will see the weight of the issue, setting a common agenda for the future.
