A number of these women are actually college graduates and they have resorted to running street shops despite all its problems.
“I have two children and I am Ok with selling goods in the metros. But unfortunately, some people don’t have the maturity to see us in such conditions,” said Leila, 45, with a bachelor’s degree incomputer science.
