Did you mean Trisha B. Shetty, the Indian lawyer and activist, or perhaps a different Trisha Shetty? There are a few individuals with that name who come up in various contexts. Since you didn’t specify, I’ll assume you’re asking about Trisha B. Shetty, who’s fairly well-known for her work in gender equality—let me know if I’ve got the wrong one!

Trisha B. Shetty is an Indian social activist and lawyer born on September 16, 1990, in Mumbai. She’s the founder of SheSays, a youth-led nonprofit launched in 2015 that tackles gender-based violence and discrimination in India. The organization focuses on educating young people, providing resources like legal and psychological support for survivors of sexual abuse, and advocating for policy changes—like successfully pushing to make sanitary napkins tax-free in India. She’s got degrees in law, psychology, and political science from the University of Mumbai, and her work’s been recognized globally by figures like Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth II, and Emmanuel Macron. She’s held roles like President of the Paris Peace Forum’s Steering Committee and was an Obama Foundation Scholar at Columbia University in 2018-2019. Pretty impactful stuff—her TED Talk in 2019, “Embrace your scars, be your own hero,” even shared her personal story of surviving child sexual abuse.

If you had something specific in mind about her—like her latest projects or something else entirely—just say so, and I’ll dig deeper!
