About

I am a development professional with over a decade of experience in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), Gender-Based Violence, and supporting women in custodial institutions. I work at the intersection of Gender, Law, and Policy. As the founder of my organisation, Hashiya Socio-Legal Centre for Women, I currently lead efforts to address the rehabilitation and reintegration needs of incarcerated women in collaboration with the Prison Department in Jharkhand, India. My work focuses on building strong linkages between prisons and other government agencies to strengthen systems and improve service delivery. I specialize in bridging systemic gaps to ensure access to legal aid, mental health care, SRHR, and skill development, with the ultimate goal of fostering sustainable change for marginalized women. Through advocacy, partnerships, and evidence-based research, I aim to create pathways for transformative social impact.

I was engaged with Koshish, a field action project of TISS where I worked on issues of beggary, homelessness and destitution. My work focused primarily on homeless women and institutional violence and later expanded into the area of reproductive rights of women living in custody. I was further part of a 7-member team that had conducted social audits in shelter homes in Bihar.
