Aditi facilitates and deepens the power of member-led learning spaces, co-creates critical documentation and strategic sharing of abortion stigma-busting practices and co-designs the processes for community resourcing and participatory funding at inroads. She is based in India, between Bombay and Dharamshala, and communicates fluently in English, Hindi and Spanish. Through their own abortion experiences, acknowledging their priveleged caste location, they are motivated to fight for reproductive justice for all, especially undoing the stigma faced by the most marginalized.

Their work stems from a journey of learning/unlearning as well as a keen interest in popular education and pedagogy, narrative practices and transformation, participatory facilitation of collective and creative processes. She weaves in a cross-movements perspective from her other experience with groups focussed on collective feminist organizing, knowledge-sharing and documentation processes around issues of food sovereignty and forest rights.

They are a huge fan of baking cakes for friends, reading and book-shelf admiring, sleeping in late, sun-set and moon gazing, long walks and dancing to cumbia, afro and son-jarocho loud music!
