Though a lot of efforts and supports have been provided to sanitation workers, still their nature of works are critical and dangerous to their health and hygiene, and most of the time lack of respect, support and collaboration from local people.
Sanitation workers of in Battambang city have full right like other citizens. They are key workers that shall be treated with respect, recognition, appreciation and support from local government and citizens. This is the foundation for stopping stigmatisation and enabling safe and dignified working conditions for sanitation workers.
WaterAid Cambodia with strong support from the Provincial Department of Public Works and Transport in Battambang is working to contribute to tackle the challenges that sanitation workers face and ensure their health, safety and dignity.
