| Introduction | Lara Shankar has been a social worker and child-rights activist. She spent 8 years working with street children, designing campaigns to address issues concerning children and their rights and building citizen action for children. After completing her master’s in child development from Lady Irwin College, Delhi University, Lara has worked with several organizations, including Salaam Baalak Trust, Butterflies, Youthreach, Childline India Foundation and Child Rights and You (CRY) in Delhi and Mumbai. With a keen interest in writing she has worked with organisations like Saathi, Balprafulta and UNICEF on various process documentations.
