Answer 2

Manual scavenging has been declared illegal because it violates two fundamental rights, i.e., the Right to Equality and the Right against exploitation.

• Manual scavenging refers to the manual cleaning, transporting, disposing of, or handling of human excreta from any dry toilets, pits, or open areas utilizing hand equipment such as buckets, shovels, and other tools for fecal sludge management.
• The Employment of Manual Scavenging and Construction of Dry Latrines (Prohibition) Act of 1993 was passed to make manual scavenging illegal and to protect individuals who perform it from losing their right to a dignified life.
• The Act prohibits the use of manual scavengers and the construction of unsanitary latrines, as the name implies.
