Twenty-two-year-old Mariam Rauf is a Personal Safety Educator. Apart from sex education, she also teaches students about body safety. She became a popular name when she started a petition on Change.org asking for Personal Safety Education (PSE) to be made compulsory in all government schools in Kerala. Today, she stands as a confident, independent woman lending a helping hand to every person in pain, but her journey was riddled with a lot of trauma. Watch her full story here.
