Sonal (She/Her) is a dynamic feminist human rights lawyer-researcher with over four years of experience working at the intersection of Law, Culture, and Sexual and Reproductive Health. She has recently completed her LL.M in Access to Justice from TISS, Mumbai. Her expertise lies in developing and implementing programs with young people on the issues of enabling access to SRHR services, resources and information.
At The YP Foundation, where she coordinates the Know Your Body Know Your Rights programme, she is dedicated to building the capacities of adolescents and young people to advocate on the SRHR-J issues within and outside their immediate communities. She believes in challenging traditional power dynamics by advocating for a collaborative approach that involves co-creating solutions with young people and centering their lived experiences. Sonal firmly believes that a rights-based, intersectional CSE from a young age is essential for empowering individuals to demand relevant SRHR resources, services, information, and fostering stigma-free knowledge.
When not sampling story-books for younger people, she likes to tend to her plants, brew another cup of Chai and groove to her favourite music!
