● A gender-rights
activist from
Haryana, Sudesh
Goyat has been at
the Tikri protest
site since the
very beginning,
helping mobilize
women and
organize for
Jan. 18 to be
recognized as
Women Farmers
Day. “Women
work equally in
the fields with
the men. It’s
only right they
should be here
to protest,”
she says. “The
awareness among
women about
their own power
has never been
higher than now.”
