A 14-year old's guide to change the world | Anisha Bhatia | TEDxMITS

They say “age is just a number”, and they are right, aren’t they? Our youngest speaker at TEDxMITS, 14-year-old Anisha Bhatia, a student activist and head of the Mumbai Chapter for ‘The Period Society’, proves just that by fearlessly battling against misogyny, menstrual stigma and also raises awareness on female education rights, mental health and LGBTQ+ rights. She has always stressed on promoting gender equality which she firmly believes can reduce extreme poverty and hunger and boost prosperity for all. Her awareness programs in the slums of Mumbai, educating women on the importance of good menstrual practices, raising funds and distributing sanitary napkins for those who cannot afford them have earned her multiple accolades. They said “age is just a number”, and they were right, weren’t they ??? Well, meet our speaker Anisha Bhatia who proves just that. To juggle between a wide range of roles from being the founder of ‘Paint for Paws’ to heading the Mumbai Chapter for ‘The Period Society’ to raising awareness on mental health issues and LGBTQ+ rights is no mean feat. And yet, our fourteen-year-old student activist marches forward with conviction and determination because she firmly believes that our actions speak louder than words and empty promises. Her awareness programs in the slums of Mumbai, educating women on the importance of good menstrual practices, raising funds and distributing sanitary napkins for those who cannot afford them has earned her multiple accolades and she was recently featured on the Humans of Bombay page. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
