Centre for Law and Policy Research(CLPR) is organising a legal training workshop for Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) from Tamil Nadu on the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act, 2013 and the Rules on 19th September, 2021.

In the course of its efforts in research, public interest lawyering, and advocacy, CLPR has taken various initiatives in the past that have aimed at better implementation of the laws relating to caste discrimination in India, focusing on four Southern states – Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala. Even after the enactment of laws, there is poor implementation of these legislations due to various reasons.

The objective behind this workshop is to understand the law better, discuss how the High Court orders in cases related to manual scavenging can be better implemented on the ground, and understand the challenges that activists face on the same.

Among the speakers are Almas Shaikh, Human Rights Lawyer; C Prabhu, Equality Fellow, CLPR; Deepthi Sukumar, Safai Karamchari Andolan; P Suseenshira, Social Activist & Research Scholar.
