She was best known for her work with Sangat - A Feminist Network and for her poem ''Kyunki main ladki hoon, mujhe padhna hai''. In 1995, she recited a refurbished, feminist version of the popular poem ''Azadi'' (Freedom) in a conference. She was also the South Asia coordinator of One Billion Rising.She resigned from her job at the U.N. in 2002, to work with Sangat, of which she was a founder member and adviser. She believed in a form of advocacy that combines feminist theory and community action.

She had always maintained that in order to usher effective change, sloganeering must be accompanied by community mobilization. Provided by Wikipedia
