"Bangladesh: Climate Crisis Magnifies Discrimination Against 'Invisible' Sanitation Workers
Bangladesh’s authorities must urgently address their failure to uphold the rights of sanitation workers, who face economic marginalization and entrenched gender- and caste-based discrimination, vulnerabilities that are only deepening amid a global climate crisis driven largely by fossil fuel combustion, Amnesty International said in a new report.
*Left Behind in the Storm: Dalit Women Sanitation Workers and the Fight for Water and Dignity*, documents the huge barriers faced by Dalit women sanitation workers in Khulna and Satkhira, on Bangladesh’s south-western coastal belt, in accessing safe drinking water and adequate sanitation, as well as their vulnerability and exclusion in climate change relief programs. It also explores how these workers are largely invisible in government policies on climate change, water and sanitation due to their caste, gender and occupation, despite being among the most affected by these policies."

We've had a chat about it before I got him to try Mastodon. My life and #Theology have always been improved, helped, encouraged and by necessity challenged by listening to excluded and marginalised voices.
What Raj gets to here is good news for all people that only comes when we listen to voices from communities like the #Dalit
(Link corrected)
Hey everyone, please welcome a great friend and colleague @rajbharatpatta
I'm confident we will see some great #dalit #Political #Theology from Raj, which is partly why I'm trying to lure him away from the #Colonial #Powers of #Corporate #SocialMedia 😜😍
#TamilNadu: A 17-year-old #Dalit boy in #Dharmapuri was tied to a tree and brutally assaulted overnight. Casteist abuse, rods, and belts used in the attack. A petrol pump owner is among 5 arrested.
