My @TEDTalks is finally live. I tried to be brave & share for the first time my personal story of trauma & healing. Still can’t get myself to watch it thanks to the vulnerability hangover.
If you’re a survivor and in a dark place, please know there’s hope.

This is how bravery and speaking up for democracy is rewarded in 🇮🇳
You get deported.
Govt drunk on power will gleefully push their propaganda through actors who dont hold Indian passports.
But if you dare to be moral, the state machinery comes after you.
You cant silence us all!

Imran Khan had participated in a protest at Mumbai’s August Kranti Maidan demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Mumbai Police had also detained him. Action has been taken against Imran Khan under the relevant provision of the Immigration Act over his participation in the protest despite not being an Indian citizen: Mumbai Police

Since BJP MLA Shreyasi is keen to say «Moral policing can be done in a more decent,elegant fashion. You can have an opinion about how somebody choses to live their lives»
Here’s an opinion- RESIGN!You are clearly inept at your job and don’t deserve the trust of your constituents.
“Instead of taking accountability, she justifies moral policing.” — @TrishaBShetty slams Jamui MLA Shreyasi Singh’s response to the Jamui assault case, accusing those in power of failing to take accountability.
Shetty called for stronger policing, CCTV surveillance, sensitisation drives and better education on consent and safety.

“Where has the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao fund gone? Where has the Nirbhaya Fund gone? We are not angry enough as women, as voters, and as tax-paying voters”
@TrishaBShetty calls for funds to be used to make streets safer for women, stressing that the focus should be on preventing such crimes in the first place.

Thank you for the very kind words, I feel truly grateful. Almost everything we have managed to do in terms of impact has been thanks to the wonderful team at SheSays & the people who’ve lent us support and believed in our mission.
I’m lucky to be surrounded by the best of people
She noticed that you could go online and find out which restaurant to eat at.
But if you had just been sexually assaulted in India, there was nowhere to look up what to do next.
Not what to feel. What to actually do. Which police station. Which section of law. Whether a hospital could refuse you.
Her name is Trisha Shetty.
She was born in Mumbai on 16th September 1990. Her mother encouraged her, as a child, to speak up when she saw something unfair. She studied political science and psychology at Jai Hind College, then took a law degree at the University of Mumbai.
In 2015 she started an organisation called SheSays.
The idea was deliberately unglamorous. Not a march. Not a hashtag. A website that explains, in plain language and in several Indian languages, what the law actually says and what a survivor can do next.
Which sections apply. What a police station is legally obliged to do. What a hospital cannot refuse. What happens at each stage if you file.
That information existed before. It was scattered across legal databases and government documents written for lawyers.
She put it in one place, in language a frightened 19 year old could read at 2 in the morning.
Then the organisation went further. Staff started physically accompanying survivors and their families to police stations, hospitals and courts.
Anyone who has been to an Indian police station to report something difficult knows why that matters more than any amount of legal text. A person sitting beside you changes how you are treated.
SheSays also runs sexual violence prevention sessions in schools and workplaces, built around bystander intervention. What to do when you see something, rather than what to do after it has happened to you.
The numbers she works against are grim. Fewer than 6% of incidents of sexual violence against women in India are reported to the police.
She has been open about what the work has cost her personally. After she spoke publicly about marital rape, she has said people threatened to kill her, and said that this curly haired girl should be gang raped and thrown out of India.
She kept going.
She was an inaugural Obama Foundation Scholar at Columbia University. She has been named a United Nations Young Leader for the Sustainable Development Goals, and a Queen's Young Leader. Forbes put her on its 30 under 30 list. Vogue India named her Woman of the Year.
In 2018 she became vice president of the steering committee of the Paris Peace Forum, and the following year its president.
She turns 36 this week.
She did not build a campaign. She built the thing that was missing, which was an instruction manual.
These so called custodians of religion do the greatest disservice to India. This delegation seeing it fit to demand women employees at Eiffel Tower be replaced by male colleagues is testament to their values & what they stand for.
If you can’t stand the sight of women, stay home.
The Eiffel Tower did not open to the public as staff refused to work in protest at their female colleagues being asked to remain out of sight of a Hindu religious delegation at the weekend, according to union representatives reut.rs/4gTbJwW
Eiffel Tower staff protest request to hide female workers - News
Ruling party reducing themselves down to online trolls, celebrating violence against our students. Somehow thinking this is an “effective GenZ outreach strategy”.
The joke writes itself.
They are laughable.
And the kids are alright.

As I see Ram Rahim’s convoy speed away I apologize to you @UmarKhalidJNU - scholar ho isiliye andar ho, rapist hote to kabh ka baahar nikal jaate.
Do not despair. The mountain is moving. Hum dekhenge.
Beware of politicians who pretend to be custodians of women’s rights whilst infantilising women by reducing their agency down to “sisters and beti’s”. Beware of politicians who pretend to be custodians of women’s rights through whataboutery and divide and rule by religion card.
Congress says, “Smash patriarchy.”
Why always target only Hindus?
What about minority women? What about Triple Talaq? Are Muslim girls not our sisters & betis?
If you truly stand with women, stand with every woman, every community, every time.
Our Indian betis are leading in ISRO, flying fighter jets & winning medals at the Olympics. Nari Shakti is visible in Lakhpati Didis & Drone Didis. Do not undermine Indian betis to divide Indian society.

Sickening op-ed. It’s 2026, yet these rape apologists feel more comfortable asking questions to survivors of violence as to why they didn’t beat up their assaulters, over holding men in positions of power accountable. You and your “counter perspective” need help. Sick

Trisha Shetty, Founder of SheSays, says the marital rape exception must go, asserting that consent has no meaning if the law allows sexual abuse of married women.

Honoured to join the Young Global Leaders, 2026 cohort.
Thank you, @wef for the recognition.
In 2018, I met President @EmmanuelMacron during his first presidential visit to 🇮🇳. @FranceinIndia was honouring 10 young Indians, it was a joy to be part of this cohort.
8 years later, I was back in Delhi for President Macron’s last official visit to India.
