Niranjana Ghosh (they/she)
Volunteer Campaign Assistant
Based on Gadigal land in Sydney, NSW.
Originally from India, I moved to Australia six years ago and bring a global perspective to my advocacy. I am a third-year BA student majoring in Sociology and Anthropology and minoring in Gender Studies. I was part of YAS in 2023 where I met Angelina, co-authoring the 'For Our Futures' report on climate justice. I also had the pleasure of discussing my cover artwork for this report and the gendered impacts of climate change on ABC Radio. My main interests lie in art and design for advocacy, particularly in sexual and reproductive health equity, climate justice and broader social justice issues. I am committed to education and campaigning, aiming to foster change through research and creative expression
