- Health: Discussing the occupational hazards and health risks inherent in sanitation work, and promoting access to necessary protective gear and medical support.
- Safety: Advocating for stricter safety protocols, better training, and safer working environments to minimize injuries and fatalities.
- Social Inclusion: Tackling the stigma, discrimination, and marginalization faced by sanitation workers, and fostering greater respect, recognition, and integration within the broader community.

This event brings together civil society (The We Foundation UK) and a government entity (Social Security Department) to drive meaningful policy changes and community awareness, ensuring that these essential workers are afforded the dignity, protection, and rights they deserve.
