Connection to SDG Goals

SDG 1: No Poverty - Chellam's circumstances illustrate the challenges faced by those living in poverty who, despite their hard work, remain underprivileged. Her father, financially dependent on her, further highlights the intergenerational nature of poverty.

SDG 5: Gender Equality - Chellam, as a young woman, experiences layered vulnerabilities and exploitation. Her struggles highlight gender-specific injustices, as female domestic workers are particularly vulnerable to abuse and exploitation in workplaces dominated by patriarchal attitudes.

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth - The conditions Chellam endures point to the lack of fair treatment and opportunity for decent work, as she remains trapped in a cycle of low-paid, unregulated labor without rights, protections, or dignity
