Srishti Bakshi, a women's rights activist from India, who travelled 3,800 km through the length of the country in less than a year to raise awareness on gender-based violence and inequality, has won a prestigious honour at the UN SDG Action Awards.
Srishti, marketer-turned-women's-rights-activist, was honoured with the 'Changemaker' award at the UN SDG Action Awards for "confronting gender-based violence and advocating for safe access to public spaces."
Bakshi embarked on an on-foot pilgrimage of 3,800 kilometers through 12 Indian states from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, not only to put a spotlight on the causes of violence against women, but also to empower women and reveal stories of resilience by conducting over 100 workshops focused on women's safety, along with digital and financial literacy.
