Observing the "World Day of Social Justice," PSI, a partner of the ILO-led Global Coalition of Social Justice, is hosting an online event to address the reality of sanitation workers in South Asia. These workers endure some of the most dangerous and degrading working conditions, with few protections—yet their work is essential to keeping our homes and communities clean and safe. The way forward is for these workers to organize into unions and defend their rights collectively. The results will benefit the workers and the communities that depend on their services.

The event will be held in English with interpretation services provided in Hindi/Urdu, Nepali, Bangla, Tamil and Marathi! To ensure we can offer interpretation in your preferred language, we need at least 5 participants per language group.

Register before February 20 to help us arrange proper interpretation services for everyone!
