Devangana Prasad

Growing up at an all-girls boarding school my whole life and having occupied key leadership positions there, I’m quite familiar with working for and with women from diverse backgrounds and age groups. Advocating for women’s rights is a passion of mine and pervades almost every sphere of my activities – from outright advocacy to daily conversations. I want to take this passion a step further by joining the ranks of leaders at the Female Lead Society and giving women’s activism a new direction by combining the founding principles of the society with each member’s unique experiences. As the Vice-President of the society, I wish to increase collaborations with The Female Lead parent organization, hold intimate round-table interview sessions with influential women leaders of today, and introduce panel discussions on key topics with each panelist representing a different aspect of intersectionality. I aim to increase the base of the society among people all genders, because increasing women leaders doesn’t just benefit women, it benefits everybody.
