Sonal Kapoor is an Indian child rights activist and feminist, most notable as founder of the Protsahan India Foundation.
Protsahan
[edit]In 2010, Kapoor, who was working in advertising, visited an ashram with a film crew for a work assignment. During this assignment, she met a young girl whose mother told Kapoor she planned to kill her next child if the child was a girl. Kapoor, who was disturbed by her conversation with the woman, took time off from her job to assist the young girl, and eventually other girls in the community. Kapoor formed a learning center in the slum, that eventually became the Protsahan India Foundation.[1]
Currently, the Protsahan India Foundation is an NGO that works to promote child rights, prevent child abuse, enroll girls in school, and give young women practical life skills. The foundation operates several projects including Project Educare-The Hub, a direct action-based program for at-risk girls, Project Innocence-Spokes, which forms partnerships between students and other institutions and organizations, and Project Lightbulb, which recruits experts to teach students vocational skills.[2]
