I got married at a young age. I never thought I would be able to continue my education beyond the 12th standard due to a lack of support from my family and in-laws.

I am in class 7. When I went to school I found studying a little bit tough. The teacher would keep telling me to do my work but I didn’t understand, especially in math.

When I was young, my father passed away, and my mother was pregnant. So our financial situation was never good. I never knew when I would have to stop studying.

My life was limited to a strict routine of school and home, with no freedom to explore beyond that. I was burdened with household chores and experienced unequal treatment simply because I was a girl. In my family, girls were not allowed to speak up or make decisions.

I want to study further, I will also teach other girls, I want to be self-dependent. Meri khushi has given to that opportunity; it has given me confidence to raise my voice against child marriage and other gender biases of society.

I come from a financially struggling family, and my life has been filled with challenges from a young age. In 2021, after losing my mother, I became the primary caregiver for my infant sibling.
