- Authors
Dadwal, Lalit; Chauhan, Kusum
- Abstract
The article focuses on the implementation of the Employment of Manual Scavengers and Construction of Dry Latrines Act, the law that prohibits the practice of manual scavenging in India. Accordingly, it explores the failure of the Act in abolishing the practice of manual scavenging. It then provides suggestions that would broaden the implementation of the Act including the amendment of the definitions of manual scavenging and the punishment given to employers who enforce such practice.
