Sanitation Workers in Lahore: A Socio-Legal Study Muhammad Umar Ali, Dr. Muhammad Azeem (2024)
The report provides an in-depth analysis of the working conditions, socio-economic challenges, and legal protections (or lack thereof) faced by sanitation workers in Lahore, Pakistan. Published by the Labour Research & Development Institute (LRDI) in collaboration with the Pakistan Workers Federation, the study is part of the ILO Japan Multi-bilateral Programme. It focuses on issues such as occupational safety, wages, social security, and discrimination, particularly highlighting the precarious situation of sanitation workers, many of whom belong to marginalized communities. The study reveals significant deficits in decent work conditions, including inadequate safety measures, low wages, and lack of social security coverage. The report also examines the impact of caste, religion, and gender on the livelihoods of these workers, calling for urgent reforms in policy and enforcement to improve their working conditions and ensure their rights are protected.
