Yasmine (L), Elhaim (C), and Instisar do exercises during their gym time at the shelter where they live in Cairo November 14, 2007. The shelter that they live in takes in unmarried girls from the street that are not already pregnant. The girls that are taken in are often children of Egypt's rural poor or from families living in shantytowns on the outskirts of Cairo. They may sleep on the pavement or in public gardens, face a constant threat of rape, and sniff glue to dull the pain and numb the cold. To match feature EGYPT-STREETGIRLS REUTERS/Tara Todras-Whitehill
