Nominated by
Ruchira Sharma
Journalist at the i newspaper
I have nominated Amrit Wilson because she has actively created a better world through her activism and journalism. She has proven that both can be used as a tool to implement tangible change for marginalised communities and in particular South Asian women. Some of her career highlights include Finding a Voice: Asian Women in Britain which won the Martin Luther King Memorial Prize and explored South Asian women’s struggles in Britain for the first time. Wilson also helped set the first refuge run by and for Asian women in London.
