Vaishnavi Rana is a young changemaker from India who aims to foster a brave and non-discriminatory atmosphere, promoting open dialogues and efficient solutions for pressing issues such as human trafficking and mental health. She is vigorously engaged in research, advocacy, awareness campaigns, and networking activities to address these concerns. She represents the Asian region with organizations like Ubuntu Leaders Academy, Ubuntu United Nations, and World Youth Alliance to foster the dignity of individuals and engage in training in human rights and diplomacy. She was selected to participate in the second edition (2024) of the Ubuntu United Nations program as one of the representatives of India, which aimed at uniting changemakers from around the globe to address issues that affect them, as well as to engage in advocacy and idea-sharing with prominent figures such as Nobel Peace Prize laureates, former heads of state, and other international leaders through significant intergenerational dialogues. Since 2019, she has been leading a student-led project on human trafficking that works on the principle of ‘Choice is Empowering’ for the survivors of human trafficking.  She has been recognized for her work as one of the leading young change-makers by the Girl Move Academy of Africa. With organizations like Born This Way Foundation, Letters to Strangers, and Snehi, she is working to create an equitable mental health ecosystem in her country and start the “RIGHT” conversation on mental health to eliminate the stigma around mental health.
