Chaitanya Venkateswaran from New Delhi had the unique opportunity to spend last Wednesday as the UK’s senior-most diplomat in India under the mission's initiative aimed at empowering and highlighting the challenges faced by women across the world.
The 18-year-old woman from New Delhi is the fourth young woman to take over as the British High Commissioner in an annual competition run by the UK mission in celebration of International Day of the Girl Child on October 11.
Venkateshwaran said her day was full of diverse experiences helping broadened her perspective on the role of women and their representation in fields of media, policing and STEM. Adding that experience made more determined than ever to help promote equitable treatment of women everywhere.
