‘Fight for the things that you care about but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”
The above quote was provided by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the late associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, who was a driving force behind 26-year-old Kavita Supatravanij’s desire to address gender-based violence.
During her time studying for a bachelor’s degree at New York University, Kavita was part of the Feminist Club. Afterwards, while working in Singapore for an advertising firm, she founded a CSR initiative for her company which led her to link up with Aware, a leading gender equality advocacy group that addressed issues such as marital rape.
