About Me

I am Uma. I love running and this is the first time I am participating in the Tata Mumbai Marathon. I am a trained social worker and the co-founder of RATI Foundation. For the last 15 years I have been working in the development sector on issues of child protection and protection of children from violence and abuse.

I am running so that women & children in India are better protected. I want to be able to make sure (at least in my lifetime) that this country is safe for its women, children and other marginalised genders.

Join me and run for RATI.

Appeal

I'm running for RATI Foundation for Social Change!

Join me by contributing to my fundraising campaign and standing with survivors of gender based violence.

Every year, over 100,000 cybercrimes disrupt the lives of women and children and 60,000+ cases of child sexual abuse are reported in India. The need for action is urgent. Yet, victims too often remain unheard.

RATI Foundation, refuses to let them be forgotten and silenced. RATI stands with survivors of gender-based violence—both online and offline—until they thrive again.

They provide free legal aid, counseling, health services, and education - whatever it takes to empower survivors, helping them rebuild their lives with dignity.

They help with immediate action – From removing non-consensual content on the internet to escalating cases to platforms and authorities, we act swiftly to halt abuse in its tracks.

RATI pushes for victim-friendly justice and works toward building systems in India that serve survivors.

RATI's - Aarambh India Initiative has been recognized with the Presidential National Award for Child Welfare (2017) and the Social Innovation Award (2024), and has supported over 500 survivors, removed 1,000+ offending accounts, and played a pivotal role in shaping national reporting tools like the cybercrime portal.

Your contribution to my fundraising campaign will directly fund essential services like counselling, legal support, rehabilitation and relief kits ensuring that survivors' lives are not disrupted.

The amount doesn't matter, Your Intention to Does!

So Donate & Spread the Word.

Let Survivors of Gender Based Violence Thrive Again!
