Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, India
Rooted in a lifelong commitment to dignity and justice, my work has focused on protecting the most vulnerable - especially children and migrants at risk of exploitation and harm. Over more than 25 years, I have worked across human rights, child protection, safe migration, and community resilience in high-risk contexts, including crisis and cross-border settings. This has included strengthening protection systems with communities, institutions, and authorities to prevent exploitation and enable safer pathways. This journey has been recognized through empanelment as an Anti-Human Trafficking expert with national institutions, including the Ministry of Home Affairs and the National Commission for Women, Government of India. I founded Madad to translate these commitments into durable, field-rooted protection and resilience systems.
