QNS: 'Violence against women has no place in our culture": Jenifer Rajkumar delivers keynote speech on Domestic Violence

"Rajkumar had previously worked at a domestic violence organization. Her experience helping women there led her to becoming a lawyer. During her career in law, she secured housing and employment rights for domestic violence survivors so they can become economically empowered, and litigated one of the top 10 cases in the world advancing women’s equality. Upon taking office in 2021, Rajkumar became the first South Asian women to ever be elected to office in the state of New York.

"'I witnessed inspiring survivors who emerged from abusive situations to become powerful and joyous,' Rajkumar said. 'Witnessing my clients who broke free from violence standing gloriously in their new power is something that has stayed with me and that will always animate me.'"
