The Importance of Greater Access To Justice | Jayshree Satpute | TEDxAshokaUniversity

To say that Jayshree Satpute is one of the “World’s Top 100 Inspiring Women” according to The Guardian is reductive. A human rights lawyer with a vast experience pursuing cases at the Supreme Court and High Courts of India, she co-founded Nazdeek, a legal empowerment organisation dedicated to bringing justice closer to marginalised communities. Her work towards the protection of slum dwellers, refugees, poor women and children has produced stellar results. With Nazdeek, she has worked with women in rural Assam to secure healthcare services, and has employed grassroots education, community monitoring, and strategic research to further social and economic rights for everyone. Previously, she was the Director of Litigation at the Human Rights Law Network, and has co-authored The Right to Safe Motherhood Through Litigation: The Indian Story.
