Neha Singh

Neha Singh (born 5 May 1982) is an Indian theatre-maker, author and campaigner who encourages women to ignore harassment and reclaim the public space.

Neha Singh started the ''Why loiter?'' movement in 2014, after she read a book of the same name by three Mumbai-based feminists, Shilpa Phadke, Sameera Khan and Shilpa Ranade. Neha, along with other participants, have explored and experimented with various forms on loitering. The campaign involves encouraging women to report instances of sexual harassment and rape against men in authority.

Neha is the editor-in-chief of the blog www.whyloiter.blogspot.com, which documents and collects stories of the loitering group as well as stories sent in by various women across the world about their own experiences of public spaces. She was included in the BBC's annual list of 100 women who have made a positive impact on the world in 2016. Provided by Wikipedia
