The group, which the Indian media portray positively, was reported to have 20,000 members as of 2008, as well as a chapter in Paris, France.( courtesy wikipedia.org)
So its privilege to add that she is not only addressing woman and domestic violence in rural India but she is letting not a single stone unturned to, achieve the golden dream. Corruption, child marriage and dowry are the core issues which she is fighting at grass root level.
Humble lady who is the voice of unheard people, lady who is the inspiration for many girls, a pillar of strength for helpless people.
