Abstract	India women have been contributing in the economy and development since Independence. They have been working in organized as well as unorganized sectors. The unorganized sector provides jobs to illiterate and less educated population of India to meet their basic needs. Poor women living in urban areas work mainly as domestic helpers because domestic work is easily available to them. With the help of 6 cases studies of poor women domestic workers, the paper aims to study the plight of women domestic workers, the way they financially support their families, the way they live their lives. Their sense of relative deprivation is reflected in their routine conversations. Their plight will not change until they are aware of their rights and unite for their own cause. The Government needs to pay attention to their plight and provide them economic security.
