Join us as we uncover the untold mental health struggles faced by the survivors and explore the path to healing and justice. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion.

In this compelling episode, we’re honored to have two powerful guides:

Having endured 11 years as a domestic slave under the Kamlari system, Urmila emerged as a champion for women’s rights, earning international acclaim and multiple human rights awards for her tireless advocacy.
