- More About Me:
- A musician by training, a workaholic, extremely passionate about young people's rights and the field of sexuality, rights, health and HIV/AIDS. I graduated from university 4 years ago and have been working with a youth organization since.
- My Organization/s:
- The YP Foundation (TYPF) in New Delhi, India has for the last 7 years been a youth led and run movement for social change in India. Founded in 2002, TYPF is a non-profit organization that advances young people’s human rights by building leadership and strengthening youth led initiatives and movements. By providing mentoring, financial and infrastructural support, TYPF is committed to developing the uninhibited expression of young people and enabling their ability to influence and create policies that further their rights.
- My Involvement on HIV & AIDS:
- In 2002, I began working with The YP Foundation (TYPF), one of India’s only youth led and run organizations that enables youth between 13 and 29 to develop and institute social justice projects on issues they are passionate about. As a Trainer, Social Entrepreneur and Young Feminist, I have worked on youth rights and health working with a staff of 40 youth in India on Gender, HIV/AIDS, Reproductive Health and Sexual Rights at TYPF, through community based peer education, research, advocacy training and national campaigns, having conducted peer education training and instituted advocacy campaigns with over 7,000 young people across India. I have worked with UN Organizations, Government Ministries and Community Based and International Organizations on Advocacy and Policy relating to HIV/AIDS and Substance Abuse. My advocacy work with SRHR and HIV/AIDS has focused on conducting international trainings with young people, coordinating press efforts and advocacy research at the CSW, UN and APRSH, India and publishing in National and International Press and Blogs. In 2009, I addressed the US Administration at a Congressional Briefing by Advocates for Youth and IWHC on the need to support SRHR funding for young people in Asia.

- At the 9th ICAAP, I will be supporting the Advocacy Sub Committee with the aim of bringing together young people at the ICAAP, in the hopes that they can find a productive platform for social justice, human rights and social change relating to HIV/AIDS.
