A sexual and reproductive health consultant and trainer, Shubham works tirelessly for comprehensive sexuality education for youth. As a Gandhi Fellow, he helped rural women of India break down myths surrounding menstruation hygiene through grassroots awareness. He is passionate about creating safe, inclusive, non-judgmental spaces for youth and the LGBTQ community to access treatment and prevention services for sexually transmitted diseases and infections.

The goal of Safe Access is to improve the sexual and reproductive health of youth and LGBTQIA community in Delhi and National Capital Region (NCR) by connecting beneficiaries with compassionate and non-judgmental health service providers through an online tech platform. This platform’s key objective is to empower the youth to make well-informed choices with respect to their sexual and reproductive lives, by offering medical-professional-curated-and-approved information, and safe, non-judgmental access to sexual and reproductive health services.
