Meet The Team
Namah Bose
Founder
Namah Bose is a student at the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab and she is extremely passionate about human rights law and women’s rights. After being a part of several projects dedicated to various forms of cybercrimes, she started Tasveer. Growing up, she has always worked with various initiatives and projects that deal with human rights. It was when she became a teenager that she began to notice that social media has become a new platform that is used frequently to spread violence, hate & sexist comments. As technology grows, newer crimes like Revenge porn, Sextortion, image-based sexual assault, cyber-flashing, cyberbullying, and Up-skirting are becoming a widespread menace. To the extent that during her final year in school she was a victim of a crime of similar nature herself. After noticing the frequency of such incidents, she decided to actually work towards changing the status quo and that’s when the idea of Tasveer came to her. Tasveer intends to raise awareness among the masses especially, college and school students about the existence of such crimes and the appropriate manner to deal with them & report them.

Vaibhav Garg
Member
Vaibhav Garg is a student of the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab. He is deeply intrigued by Sports law and criminal law. He wants to explore his interests further in law school. He believes that society turns a blind eye to the online sexual abuse happening around them until someone close becomes a victim. At that point, it hits them and they are more often than not left with no answers or responses, just with a feeling of helplessness. Neither victim nor people around them are fully aware of how to handle the situation or whom to contact and because of this they often choose to suffer in silence along with blaming themselves for the crime. Tasveer aims to remove the stigma attached to the victim of such crimes, help people and victims with the feeling of helplessness and make them aware of the laws and ways through which they can regain the control of the situation along with making them aware of how these crimes can be prevented from taking place in the future. Initiatives like Tasveer, are something that is needed now more than ever and it gives him a platform to contribute and make whatever changes he can to make the situation better.

Ria Bansal
Director
Ria Bansal is a student of the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab. She is passionate about Criminal law, Criminology & Tech laws. She thinks that cyberspace extends to great limits.

The entrenched nature of cyberspace has created many new offences, the understanding of which is pertinent to today’s legal climate. For that reason, she has joined this initiative with a motive to improve the research and intervention in the field of cybercrime. Since this field is in a nascent stage in many countries, there is a greater need for law students and professionals to apply their skills and contribute to it.

Oorja Goel
Member
Oorja Goel is pursuing a BA.LLB from the Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab. She has always aspired for doing good for society in whatever she does. The objective of studying law also stems from the ulterior motive of doing whatever in a personal capacity for the greater good. She has a special interest in Criminal law and laws relating to women’s rights. This project has an unmatched significance in her life because she has a very close understanding of the nature of such crimes and how can these disrupt the lives of innocent victims. She is more enthusiastic about the cybercrimes that are being inflicted on women and girls unabated currently. She believes that the awareness and etiquette of how to use the internet are lagging far behind the leaps of advancement in the misuse of the same technology. It must be mentioned here that the more common these crimes are, it comes as a surprise that the lesser the awareness about how to deal with them. Thus, the main objective behind joining this initiative is to contribute however possible to create the much-needed awareness and such an environment where the fear and apprehensions about cybercrimes are alleviated appropriately.
