Rahmat Banu, a widowed mother of three, has been dressing up her daughter as a guy, to sell sukku coffee in Krishnagiri. She had lost her husband six years ago in an accident. She has three kids, out of whom the eldest daughter has been married off. She has been disguising her second daughter as a guy to sell sukku coffee in their locality along with her second-grader son.
This family has been grappling with poverty ever since the death of their father. Their plight has been elevated by the current lockdown.
In this regard, her daughter who is currently in 7th grade decided to help her family financially, and is selling sukku coffee for this sake. Because of the lack of safety of girl children in the society, especially in smaller towns, this girl has been disguised as a guy by Rahmat Banu. Her mother had cut off her hair short enough to resemble a boy and has been dressed up in trousers and shirts, in order to sell sukku coffee.
