Introducing

Priya Varadarajan

Priya Varadarajan is an activist and advocate for women’s rights. She has been running a not-for-profit called Durga for the last 10 years. The organisation works on a rights-based approach to build a strong community that acts against sexual harassment in public spaces, making the safety of women and children a collective responsibility. Priya also works at Azim Premji Philanthropy, leading on Gender Justice and Persons with Disabilities.

As a women’s rights activist, Priya is vocal about a number of women’s issues, especially domestic violence, equal rights and especially, to give women their due in whatever they are doing. She also throws light on the role women have played during the pandemic working from home, answering calls, attending meetings, and proving their worth apart from running the home full-time, caring for children, and looking after the family. She also wrote on how during the lockdown, The National Commission for Women recorded a 100 percent rise in calls on its helpline 181 with issues of domestic violence.
