Manual scavenging is a horrible job that some people are forced to do. It means that they have to clean up human waste, like poop, without any mechanical help. They have to do it with their bare hands and carry it away in baskets on their heads. This job is really unhealthy and dangerous because they can get very sick from the waste they are handling. It is also very scary because they might fall into the sewage and drown.
Manual scavenging is mostly done in India and some other countries, but it is not allowed because it is against the law. However, some people still do it because they have no other option to make money. It is important to know that manual scavenging is very dangerous and we need to help these people find other jobs so they can live a healthier and happier life.
