1. What inspired you to become a lawyer and human rights activist?
I always believed that lawyers were the ones who could fight for just causes. My inclination towards argumentation further solidified this belief, with others around me affirming that I had the qualities of a good lawyer.
During my post-graduation, I encountered situations where my classmates faced issues that necessitated legal intervention.
Witnessing how legal aid facilitated remedies reinforced my conviction that the path to justice often leads through the realm of law. So, naturally, I gravitated towards pursuing a career in law. Despite my determination, my parents initially opposed my decision, adhering to traditional gender roles that limited career options for women. Eventually, I succeeded in convincing my parents and secured admission to law school.
