she should be given a longer broom and a wheelie bin to transport the shit. Also some health and safety equipments such as latex gloves, face masks and soap to wash up. I bet such items would make her job easier and safer.

Some people wouldn't do this job for a million pounds and she does it everyday for so little :(

ok i understand the idea. india got money. they r nuclear power. sure they got money. but it cost much to built waste pipes to a big country. they also got a huge populaton. so its more cheap to use men power instead of building waste pipes and toilets. also by that system ppl can earn money to live...BUT there is also a system called birth control ! india decrease your population like china did. politicans wake up . your citizens living worst than our street cats in Turkey. do something !

If i was born into a life like this,i would have rathered killed myself then to have to live like this,god bless this poor woman's heart.

I wish this woman could know that she is my hero. Thanks to our shitty economy, I clean bathrooms at a office building filled with the nastiest, most raggedy ass ghetto bitches one could ever hope to know. I come and watch this when I feel like crying and I have to remind myself others have it worse than me. Still for her, I hope her life gets easier. She more than deserves it. Also, proper tools and cleanliness supplies. How can India have nuclear power and treat people this way?

Deuteronomy 23 says to dig a hole and bury ****. 6000+ years ago people understood easy ways to avoid illness from feces, India still has so many uneducated people, wow, even in the Amazon forest people who have never been to school or seen anything modern know about this stuff, thats why I have no hope for India to be anything but a living hell for 70% of its population for at least 10 more generations.
