IN CONVERSATION: Tarang Chawla

Gah, it’s our last In Conversation episode for a little while!!! And what a show we have for you today.

Tarang Chawla is an India-born Australian lawyer, writer and anti-family violence advocate. In 2015, Tarang’s younger sister, and only sibling, Nikita was murdered by her then-husband at the age of just 23. In the years since and - while nursing overwhelming grief - Tarang has become of the country’s leading campaigners for gender equality and advocates for women and children’s safety from family violence. In 2017, he was named a Young Australian of the Year finalist in Victoria and has written across topics including men's violence against women, discrimination, racism, masculinity and human rights.

After discussions with Tarang, Shameless Media has made the decision to donate $500 to Djirra to support Aboriginal women experiencing violence, as well as a further $500 to Dhadjowa Foundation, stopping black deaths in custody.
