A Brave New World: Building Sustainable Relationships between Socially Conscious Young Citizens, and Gender and Sexual

Priyanka Sen ’19 returned to her hometown, Kolkata, to provide assistance to the LGBTQ community, a highly marginalized and oppressed group in India. She volunteered with Kolkata Rista, a community-based organization, and learned of the many issues faced by the LGBTQ community in India. In the span of two weeks, Priyanka attended a series of community engagement activities including advocacy sessions, outreach events, and intensive workshops focused on empowering not only the LGBTQ community but also other socially and economically marginalized groups in Kolkata.
