International Women’s Day 2019: 10 amazing Indian women you need to know about

#5 Dr. Rukmini Rao

Dr. Rukmini Rao, who was married into a joint family at the age of 18, was unable to adjust in the new environment. She left her husband when she was 24. Even her second marriage didn’t last long. She started working with Gramya Resource Centre for Women in 1997 as there was a call for help to prevent the sale of a pair of twin girls. Dr. Rao, and her friend Ms. P. Jamuna, set up the organization to support NGOs, to understand gender issues and make relevant development interventions.

Many organizations around the world recognized her as a leader of the feminist movement in India.
