Untouchables of Asia - Garbage

Freelance

Removing garbage in the streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh is a work performed by untouchables. It´s done manually without any protection gear and with the means of a leaking basket. Recently, the government started demanding licenses from sweepers, so now they even have to pay bribes to keep their poorly paid jobs.
