Haiti, Port-au-Prince, 27 November 2016 Bayakou are people who empty pit latrines by hand. They crawl into the holes under toilet seats, usually in outhouses, and use buckets or bare hands to scoop up feces and place it in bags. The bags are then usually dropped in a nearby trash area or ravine. Even though most people in Haiti hire them for this job, they are stigmatized for the smell that permeates the area. They work mostly at night to avoid being seen. Sometimes people throw stones or yell threats. In addition, disease, snakes and spiders, and electrical lines make their job dangerous. Many bayakou have organized into a collective; a push to make the job more respected as most Haitians who have toilets rely on them. Other ways to empty pit latrines are too expensive for most Haitians. Matteis Exalus, 44, (hat), Roger Dume, 45, (white shirt) and Exilian Cena, 44, have worked together as bayakou for around 20 years, Andrea Bruce / NOOR
