‘There is one absolute truth in the world, and that is death. I do not fear it, but I definitely want to make sure that I do all that is possible to the best of my ability before my end.’
Steely, outspoken and relentless, Sunitha Krishnan has long been a crusader against the sex-trafficking mafia in India. Internationally, she is one of the most powerful advocates for the rights of sex-crime and trafficking victims. Beginning when she was still in her teens, Sunitha has spent the past three decades focused on this mission—since 1996 through Prajwala, the anti-trafficking organisation she founded. The organisation has so far rescued 28,900 and rehabilitated 26,900 survivors, and prevented 18,000 children from entering the sex trade.
In this powerful, moving memoir, Sunitha Krishnan writes about her unwavering determination to confront sex trafficking in India, her personal struggles, the colossal odds stacked up against her mission and her unfaltering belief in a higher power to keep her steady in her fight. I Am What I Am is the story of a charismatic, fiery woman who won’t be defined by any one part of her many child survivor of sexual assault, social entrepreneur, film producer, cancer survivor, motivational speaker.
Sunitha’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of one individual to ignite change in the face of overwhelming darkness.
About the Author
Activist, author and film producer, Sunitha Krishnan is the founder of Prajwala—Asia’s largest institution combating sex trafficking and sex crime. A recipient of the Padma Shri, Krishnan has been recognised as a Trafficking in Person Hero by the US government and was one of Newsweek’s 150 ‘Fearless Women in the World’. The therapeutic community of safe shelter homes established by her are considered an international best-practice model, and have ensure the dignity and lives of thousands of adult and child sex-trafficking survivors. Krishnan has also played an instrumental role in drafting several victim-centric policies, including the first ever anti-trafficking policy in India, a policy for minimum standards of care, a sex offenders registry and the introduction of video conferencing to record evidence of a trafficked victim. She has also worked to create several comprehensive training manuals and handbooks for law enforcers, the judiciary and other duty bearers of India’s anti-trafficking ecosystem.
