Meera Vijayann: A Voice Against Sexual Violence

Her talk begins with a personal story of sexual violence that may be difficult to listen to. But that’s the point, says citizen journalist Meera Vijayann: Speaking out on tough, taboo topics is the spark for change. Vijayann uses digital media to speak honestly about her experience of gender violence in her home country of India — and calls on others to speak out too.

It took a complete stranger's tragic incident for her to make a big decision about how she was going to look at her own past. What she chose to do with it is amazing.
