One in three women are sexually harassed over the course of their lifetime. That's an alarming statistic but yet, violence against women no longer brings out a reaction in us unless it's a rarest of rare case like the brutal rape and death of Jyoti Singh in 2012. This led Dr. Shruti to set up Sayfty in 2013, an organisation that educates and equips women to fight against violence through workshops and offering support to survivors. For her work, Dr. Shruti has been named as One of the Most Influential People in Global Policy 2019 by Apolitical and one of EU top 200 Women in the World of Development Wall of Fame 2016 and a nominated changemakers for the United State of Women 2016. Join me as I discuss with Dr.Shruti the steps that need to be addressed to combat this problem.
