They were in conversation with Arthi Shah, Chairperson of YFLO.  Karishma Mehta said the most important step was the first step when you begin.  The stories we curated and told not only enlightened the people but also impacted the lives of the people whose stories we told. We also raised money and helped them come out of their situation. One such situation was a lady with five daughters who was expecting a sixth one, hoping to be a boy. Her husband who was an alcoholic manhandled her.  She was hospitalized and her husband was sent to jail. Our story ensured financial security for them and we raised Rs 25 lakhs she shared. 

Another story was of Ali Bhai of Jammu Kashmir, who spent 23 years in jail for a crime he didn’t commit.  We have helped him, as well as, raised money to bail out women from sexual work.  Our stories made a huge difference to people, she narrated.
