The answer

It is permissible to give a portion of the Zakat to Muslim female workers and Muslim sanitation workers if their salaries are insufficient to meet their needs and the needs of those they support, for in this case, they are among the poor or the needy. However, if their salaries suffice them, or if they are non-Muslims, it is not permissible to give them the obligatory Zakat. Nevertheless, they can be given from voluntary charity.
