Welcome

I’m Anna, a writer, speaker and advocate for Christian women in Asia

I am a Christian first and foremost, but also a military wife. Having lived in 20 houses in 28 years across three continents, I have been left feeling somewhat dislocated; I’m sure I have some psychological issues from all the changes! I rarely feel misplaced, though – God has always sent us to the right place at the right time.

Nepal etc

I run a charity in Nepal that helps impoverished women and have set up and am involved with several anti-human trafficking organisations.

Thanks for reading this far. I would be very grateful if you could please follow the blog (see below), comment on and question my posts. This is a community for everyone.

Support

If you’d like to go a little further with your support, then I would be extremely grateful. I am increasingly being asked to write about challenging issues regarding vulnerable women in Asia. I enjoy this work, but it can be emotionally draining, and the research and travel can be costly. Purchasing one of my books is a real encouragement to me, and if you’d like to buy me a coffee to motivate me with my work, please click here.

Thank you

Anna Townsend

  1. Dear Miss,

    Greetings from New Delhi!

    I have been working in social research & development sector for long years.

    My Professional work majorly focuses on Child Rights & development; Poverty elimination through skilling, Adolescent health & Sexuality; Reproductive Rights & Sexual Health; Gender issues- rights, equality & Women Empowerment. Social Internship and Volunteering [Youth & Corporate].  Gender issues- rights, equality &  socio-economic Empowerment is at the core of my Emotional Quotient & Professional Commitments.

    Starting my career from Academic institutions [Patna University & IIT-Kharagpur] to the NIHFW [GOI] to NGO [Parivar Seva Sanstha -PSS -the then Indian Partner of the Marie Stopes International, London, UK]; to National Foundation [Smile Foundation] to International Charity [Childreach International India] to the United Nations Population Fund [UNFPA] -have been my career journey in short!

    I have authored a Book “Life and Times of Unborn Kamla” [published] which addresses the alarming evil-practice of violence against Women [VAW]-both inside the womb [sex-selective abortion- Female Feticide] and  outside [post-birth] its grave consequences on  socio-cultural fabric & economic Bazaar of India; and also spilling over to the friendly neighbouring Countries of Nepal and Bangladesh which have emerged as HUB for trafficking of young women across the man-drawn borders into India [The book is available on Amazon & Flipkart].

                YouTube on the book:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkEyiGh17kA&feature=youtu.be

    The book contains a wealth of information for Community workers, policy makers on Gender issues, social justice and human rights advocates. The book also provides critical awareness for the general population (parents and daughters) about socio-economic provocations, cultural mindset and patriarchal social structure and ways to combat this evil. 

    One of the Case Histories ” KAMMO-an adolescent girl from Indo-Nepal border…” can be highly successfully translated onto bigger Cinematic Canvass and most likely to be a Fundraiser[Corpus] for collaborating / Partnering NGO; equally a Global Campaign against Violence against Women [VAW] and  for Gender Equality!

    I shall like to collaborate with you in any capacity you deem me fit!

    Warm regards, 

    Prof. K. K. Varma
