Meena Seshu is one of the most popular and richest Activist who was born on March 24, 1962 in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.
During the mid 1980s, Seshu was an activist looking to stop brutality against women in Maharashtra state. Her real focus in the following decade was HIV/AIDS as it took a destructive toll in the poor regions where she worked. She began working with a group of women who experienced disturbing rates of both violence and HIV/AIDS. Her experience showed her that organising into collectives is a useful method for bringing about empowerment, so she adopted this in the brothels she visited. This led to the setting up of Sampada Grameen Mahila Sanstha (SANGRAM) set up in 1992 and Veshya Anyay Mukti Parishad (VAMP), a collective led by sex workers, set up in 1996. These work in eight districts across Maharashtra and Karnataka. Seshu went on to set up Vidrohi Mahila Manch, a collective of rural women that spreads awareness against HIV/AIDS, in 1997. In 2000, she set up two more collectives: Muskan for Men who have sex with men (MSM) and Nazariya for women living with HIV. In 2006, she set up a Centre for Advocacy on Stigma and Marginalisation (CASAM). She had begun working with children of sex workers in 2004, and built a hostel for them called Mitra in Nipani, Karnataka, in 2009.
These aims led to a controversy in 2005, when Seshu made the decision that SANGRAM would not support a United States government policy, the Anti- prostitution pledge.
