This research was an endeavor to closely study the situation of rag picker girls. An effort was made to understand their work conditions, impact of the present occupation on these girls and the problems faced by them. In other words, this study provides an overview of their lives in totality.Everyday life is a struggle for these girls and they had to survive in such unfavorable environment for livelihood of themselves and their families.The present study has significance because problems of girl rag pickers have hardly been studied and it is believed that life of the girl rag pickers was more difficult. They are more vulnerable to exploitation and abuse at the work place and are also exploited, abused and used as an instrument of income by their families. They are exposed to different kind of exploitation during the work and at home, therefore, it was imperative to focus on them as a specific category to understand their problems.
