— A Childhood of Inspiration
Advocate Shraddha's upbringing in a challenging neighbourhood in Mumbai exposed her to the
harsh reality of sexual abuse. Her mother, a teacher, was a beacon of hope for many victims
who sought her assistance. They came to her in search of solutions to their problems, and her
mother's unwavering support left a deep impression on Advocate Shraddha. Her mother
believed in the importance of female independence and encouraged young women from
underprivileged backgrounds to stand on their own feet. This invaluable lesson would shape
Advocate Shraddha's life.
— A Burning Desire to Make a Difference
From a young age, Advocate Shraddha harboured a strong desire to do something for women's
empowerment. Her goal was to protect their rights and prevent sexual abuse, particularly in
the workplace. She identified domestic workers as particularly vulnerable targets and felt the
need to intervene on their behalf.
— University Awakening
As Advocate Shraddha pursued her education, she realized that female students at her
university were often victims of sexual harassment, perpetrated by faculty, staff, and male
students. She recognized this issue as a pressing concern that demanded attention but was
unaware of how these issues could be addressed.
