abstract: 'Manual pit-emptying - the removal of faecal sludge from pits and tanks
using hands or basic tools - is a widespread practice in Bangladesh, and
in other low- and middle-income countries. Despite this, little is known
about the livelihoods of pit-emptiers. This paper analyses data from six
cases of pit-emptying in three cities in Bangladesh, across three
different operational modes: private cooperatives, government employees
and self-employed workers. These cases describe the experiences of
emptiers from diverse socio-economic, religious and ethnic backgrounds,
operating across a formal-informal spectrum. We find that government
employees and self-employed groups are deprived of basic rights, fear a
loss of income brought about by mechanisation and cannot access
alternative livelihoods. While the status of emptiers in private
cooperatives has improved recently due to the support of governmental
oranisations (GOs) and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the extent
to which these cooperatives are sustainable, without the ongoing support
of NGOs or GOs, remains unclear. In all modes, sustainable livelihoods
are hindered by deep-rooted social and financial barriers. Organisations
can support pit-emptiers by designing sanitation interventions that
prioritise the human right to decent work, focussing not only on the
beneficiaries of universal sanitation, but also on those who work to
implement this ambitious goal.'
