Having gone through a transformative awakening after 25 years of emotional, medical and financial neglect from her husband, she decided to stand up for herself and fight for her rights.

With a mission to make 'Women's Rights are Human Rights' a reality, Rachana aims to create an environment where her voice resonates in the corridors of power from the United Nations to the halls of Parliament.
