Project Bolo - Betu Singh

PROJECT BOLO, meaning 'Project Speak Up', offers role models by documenting Indian LGBT persons -- their growing up, struggles, love, career, achievements and life.
Project Bolo's objective is to record Indian LGBT history, as well as inspire and empower the LGBT community in India, by presenting video interviews of LGBT persons and role models, who 'speak up' about their life and work.
This interview features BETU SINGH.
----------------------------
BETU SINGH
A born fighter, Betu started off as a security guard in a Delhi hotel, and then went on to set up her own flourishing business. But she gave it all up to work for lesbian rights. She set up the Sangini Trust in 1997 which is one of the very few registered lesbian organizations in India. Apart from providing advocacy and training services, Betu's strength lies in her ability to help lesbian women in distress by talking to their parents, peers and other stakeholders. Betu continues to fight on her own steam often against extreme hardships.
