A related thread specifically for India is here on the forum:As part of these efforts, many resources have been developed:
- Advocacy-focussed articles and papers, including by WaterAid in Nepal and India .
- Guidance on how to ensure sanitation and waste workers' safety, as this compilation of Government advisories from India shows.
- Communication materials such as posters and videos – from WIEGO for waste pickers ; from PASA-CAWST for pit emptiers ; and from Tamil Nadu Government for various sub-types of sanitation and waste workers .

I wanted to share my recent blog on sanitation workers and COVID-19.
I have tried to link to the most relevant resources (guidelines, posters, videos, briefs) on the topic that have been produced so far.
washmatters.wateraid.org/blog/the-unsung...he-covid-19-pandemic
"The COVID-19 pandemic is a time of heightened danger for sanitation and waste workers. It is also a time of heightened awareness, both of our dependence on these key workers for our health, and of the risks they face every day. It is a rare opportunity to put their situation in the spotlight, and work to further build the recognition and support they deserve."
