India Working Group for Health Advocacy (IWG) | as Youth LGBTQIA+ representative | Oct -22 - Present

IWG was formed in December 2018 with the support of the Global Fund Advocates Network Asia-Pacific (GFAN AP). It has been at the forefront in its demand to increase India’s domestic expenditure on health strongly, and invest in Global Fund which can be divested into communities affected by HIV, TB and Malaria across India. Through our rigorous advocacy measures with donor countries by sending letters to donor countries, high-level meetings with donor country representatives, and civil society meetings to amplify our demand for increased domestic financing and investment in Global Fund, we were able to contribute in the effort to make India pledge US$22 Million and successfully advocate for an increase in other countries funding to Global Fund in 6th Replenishment cycle.

TWEET Foundation | Young people Advocate Volunteer | June 2019 - Present

I am Volunteer for the TWEET Foundation (Transgender Welfare Equity and Empowerment Trust) and its mission is to build an empowered, self-sufficient, and vibrant Trans movement in India by wholly caring for the welfare of trans persons; their education, medical treatment, legal standing, and culture and social upliftment. The organization is established by transgender people for empowerment, education, equity, and health.

I am working with the organization for the last three years on various programs focused on transgender empowerment and skill-building, and leadership. Most of my work involves 1) coordination on the fellowship program, 2) looking into the strategic information & research, and 3) providing essential needed support for creating communication materials for transgender people.

With my work, I am creating crucial communication materials for young transgender men and women on empowerment messaging. I am supporting the organization to create 'gender-focused data on health, social well-being, crisis, and capacity building. I have been part of the shelter home initiative for transgender people and participated in various advocacy programs on transgender inclusion.

As a LGBTI+ Community person myself, I feel my work is substantial in bringing trans leadership and providing opportunities for transgender people like me to create social change toward 'transgender inclusion.
