Anjana Palamand — Co-Founder
I'm a gender justice activist working at the intersection of criminal law, feminism, and systemic reform. Through my organisation (MAYA), I have worked closely with 2000+ children and frontline responders, helping build safe and respectful spaces; especially by raising awareness about POCSO. I occasionally write on gender, justice, and institutional accountability. I have been recognised as a nominee for the Tales of Humankind Changemaker Award (2024), and my work has been featured in many magazines and newsletters. Currently, I am a paralegal with SASHA, where I assist in drafting inquiry reports under the PoSH Act, 2013.
