Sohini Chakraborty - Helping abused women cope through dance
Sohini Chakraborty was walking through the Kolkata Book Fair on a winter evening in 1996 when she spotted a poster outside the kiosk of an anti-trafficking non profit organization. A young girl looked out of the poster that said, "No more a bride-to-be, no more a mother-to-be, no more a future-to-be.” Thus was born the idea of Sanved – an organization that now helps thousands of victims of trafficking all over South Asia through dance. Sohini Chakraborty in conversation with Nilanjana Bhowmick.
