ABSTRACT
India is only one of many nations that struggle with manual scavenging. This practise not only endangers the participants' health but also continues socioeconomic injustices and human rights abuses. However, a number of nations have put strategies into place to address this issue and enhance hygienic conditions while fostering social participation.
This article gives a broad overview of the ways that different nations have addressed the issue of manual scavenging and improved hygienic conditions. We examine several strategies used to end manual scavenging through case studies in India, South Africa, Bangladesh, Brazil, and Pakistan.
The utilisation of automated cleaning equipment, intelligent sanitation systems, remote monitoring, mobile applications, and automation are some of the technological solutions that are highlighted in the article as a way to handle this problem. Although technology offers intriguing possibilities, it also highlights the necessity for extensive rehabilitation programmes and stakeholder cooperation. We may fight to end manual scavenging, improve sanitary standards, and advance social inclusion by utilising technology and effective techniques.
