"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."

In Hebrew, the word and name Dalit (דלית) has several related meanings, commonly linked to:
• “drawn out” or “drawn from the water”
• “poor” or “needy” (from the root “dal”)
• “hanging branch” (from the word “daliyyah”)
• It is also associated with being fragile or delicate.
