Deepshikha is a feminist practitioner with 8 years of experience of working with social grassroot movements and collectives. In her engagement with several civil society organisations and networks, she has actively worked to foreground the right to choice, agency and decision making; especially that of young people in their intersectional identities across various discourses around gender based violence and its redressal mechanisms. She has been a part of the civil society movement on Child, Early, Forced Marriages and Unions (CEFMU) at the regional and global level. She is one of the co-creators of the Global Feminist Accountability Framework for Generation Equality Forum and a member of the Stakeholder Advisory Group of the Ab Meri Baari – Youth Solutions project.
As the Director of Programmes and Policy Engagement at The YP Foundation, she supports and leads the development of effective and relevant programmes and policy engagement spaces , partnerships and resourcing, as well as administration and financial management. In an attempt to navigate between being equal parts restless and calm, she takes solace in writing poetry and dancing her heart out.
