Ever wondered what is keeping the disparity alive? The glaring differences spanning within communities? How masses that are deprived are ignored, fed to degradation, while continuity never stops? Watch as Swathi Sukumar teaches us about the power of empathy and the great potency it carries in prospectively uplifting the quality of the common conscience.
Swathi Sukumar is a lawyer who runs a private civil litigation practice, focused on intellectual property. She has been a lawyer in several prominent judgments in the area of intellectual property.
She holds a Bachelors law degree from NALSAR University of Law, and a Masters law degree with Honors from Columbia Law School, United States. Alongside her private practice, in 2011 she co-founded iProbono India. iProbono India focuses on providing access to justice to disadvantaged individuals and also provides legal assistance to Indian civil society organizations, on a pro bono basis. iProbono works with vulnerable individuals, such as disadvantaged children who have survived sexual abuse, street vendors, and other individuals who face impediments in accessing justice, by providing them legal assistance.
In the past two years alone, under Swathi’s leadership and supervision, 28 child survivors of sexual abuse have been given justice with pro bono legal assistance through a refined network.
