Ishaan Shah is the Co-Founder of Stolen Dreams as well as Youth For Freedom Collective. These are two organizations that are raising awareness about the issue of modern slavery. In addition, Ishaan also advocates for gender equality and is a Youth Representative at the United Nations.
When Ishaan was 13, he was shocked to find out that modern slavery still existed. He was taught that slavery was abolished in England and other parts of the world. When he went to India however, he met children who were vulnerable to or had survived modern slavery. At the time, Ishaan did not know what that meant at the time but after a while, realized this issue exists in different ways. This experience inspired Ishaan to create Stolen Dreams so that people could be more educated on this issue. Despite not having a personal connection to both modern slavery and gender inequality, Ishaan believes these are human issues that need to be discussed and find the right solution. He also hopes to inspire more young people to find something they are passionate about and work together to achieve a common goal.
