Shilpa became a victim of trafficking when she was 14 years old. She was taken away from her family and was sold into sex work. After 5 years, with the help of GGBK and authorities, Shilpa returned to her family. By then, her parents have aged considerably and lost all means of income.

Neeta and Geeta are two sisters. One of them is 15 while the other is 17. Both of them work at a fireworks factory. Despite the danger involved, the hunger in their stomachs forces them to keep working. They don’t get proper wages for this work. Often the owner makes them work much more that the paltry wages they are given. One day they meet another girl named Parul there.
