Meera is a second year Politics student at University in London.
Having grown up in Greater Manchester she has been involved in many different youth voice and youth activism projects since the age of 11. She first had the opportunity to make tangible change when she was elected as the Member of Youth Parliament of Trafford, this spurred her on to fight for young people to be brought into the forefront of issues that mattered to them. In addition, Meera was a member of the Greater Manchester Youth Combined Authority and aided in decision making county wide. This led Meera to actively campaigning for better mental health access for young people in GM, specifically, in conjunction with BeeWell, where she has been an Advisor since 2021. At university, Meera has been an active member of the Politics and International Relations Society and is currently acting as Careers Officer. In this role she is working to champion other young people of colour and ensure they have fair access to all opportunities. More recently, Meera was appointed to be the Project Officer of a new grassroots organisation, Academics Against Assault. Following many years of fighting for better mental health support, she is keen to help implement mandatory consent education within universities and change the narrative of this subject in higher education settings.
