Mr. Saket Mani

He serves as the Youth Planet 50/50 Champion for gender equality to support UN Women’s work through the office of the United Nations Assistant Secretary General and Deputy Director of the UN Women. He mobilised more than 150,000 people to pledge and commit for the ‘HeForShe’ campaign, the UN Women’s Solidarity Movement for Gender Equality. He organized and conceptualised the first series of public Youth Dialogues on Gender Equality with UN Assistant Secretary-General in Chennai and Delhi. His work on Gender Equality especially on engaging men & boys has positioned India as the leading country globally in the HeForShe movement as recognized by UN Women.
