Abstract
Abstract: Despite being prohibited since 1993, manual scavenging is still practiced in several parts of India. Uttar Pradesh has the highest documented number of cases of manual scavenging, and sanitation personnel are at the forefront of this practice. The purpose of this study article is to investigate the risks and implications of manual scavenging for sanitation workers in Uttar Pradesh. The research is based on an examination of existing literature as well as secondary data acquired from government sources. According to the study's findings, manual scavenging creates considerable health risks for sanitation employees, such as exposure to harmful fumes and diseases. It also has serious social and psychological ramifications, such as discrimination and stigma. The article concludes by emphasizing the necessity for immediate action to abolish manual scavenging and defend sanitation workers' rights. The study will also include statistical information about manual scavenging in Uttar Pradesh.
