- Agnes_Kharshiing abstract "Agnes Kharshiing is a women's rights activist in Northeast India.Her outspoken advocacy and leadership of protests for women's and communities' rights has been linked to her detainment.She has led sit-ins in protest against government evictions of local communities from land.She was arrested then released in March 2013 for use of criminal force to deter a public servant from discharging his duty, as well as criminal trespass. She told reporters that as member of a committee on justice, formed as part of Meghalaya Legal Service Authority, she was trying to help the parents of a rape victim access a media centre.She was involved in exposing graft and lack of transparency in child nutrition programs. She advocated for programs supporting local food rather than use of contractors.Fellow activist Angela Rangad said Kharshiing's 2013 arrests were attempts "to suppress any attempt of asking questions and bringing to light largescale illegal deals and land grabs.”Kharshiing has not been deterred from activism by detention. She said:“I will continue to fight with them for their rights and will not retreat even if I have to face arrest a thousand times”".
