Priya Ramani, an accomplished journalist in India, has been writing and editing for 30 years.

She “identified Mr. Akbar, then a minister of state in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet, as someone who had harassed her in 1993.” This callout was necessary to punish for his misconduct, and also to reignite the #metoo movement. The women who speak on their experiences publicly motivate others to seek the justice their cases deserve.
