Apurva's Journey: Supporting Incarcerated Women in Jharkhand

Apurva Vivek, a lawyer, is helping women in Jharkhand prisons.

She started by offering literacy classes and realized they needed more support.

Now, her organization, Hashiya, provides legal aid, mental health counseling, and art therapy.

They also help women understand legal papers and advocate for their rights.

Apurva and her team support women both during and after their prison time.

They focus on what the women need and are expanding their work to other prisons.

Apurva aims to ensure these women have access to their rights and support after release.
