Meena Chockalingam
Country: India
Advocacy areas: Gender-based Violence, Crisis Intervention, Community Engagement
Background:
Meena is a queer gender security worker. She works on crisis intervention, movement building, and research in the global feminist space. She is trained and certified in various types of gender security including IPV, CSA, TfGBV, and queer peer support. She firmly believes that individuals should not have to function as entire systems and is finding her way through creating effective response systems.
Through her advocacy initiative, Meena is engaged in building resources on queer intimate partner violence – an area of GBV that she finds to be overlooked, under-resourced, and challenging to address.
