" My passion for the cause and my drive towards working for it coupled with the
platform Millennium Fellowship offers will help my work reach a larger section of society. The skills and experiences I would gain through this is immense and will be a stepping stone for my future endeavors too. Women, who constitute almost 50% of the population in my country, are deprived of their basic rights and have been silenced. By being a Millennium Fellow I look forward to giving the voiceless their voice. "
