Sanitation workers have repeatedly demonstrated commitment in ensuring public health, environmental sanitation, and urban functioning despite working under hazardous, insecure, and exploitative conditions. The majority of sanitation workers in the country come from historically oppressed Scheduled Caste communities, particularly those communities that have been forced into caste-based occupations through generations of discrimination and exclusion. The persistence of contractualisation and precarious employment of sanitation workers perpetuates structural caste inequality while denying workers equal opportunities, economic security, and human dignity. Strict implementation of labour laws and constitutional safeguards protecting sanitation workers from discrimination, exploitation, caste-based harassment, unsafe working conditions, and arbitrary termination of service. DASAM reiterates that sanitation workers are not seeking charity; they are asserting their constitutional, legal, and human rights.
