Our Team
Siyona Bordia, Founder & President – RightfullyHers
Hey!! I’m Siyona and I go to Newark Academy in Livingston, NJ. I love to spend time with my friends and family, play tennis, sing and read during my free time. I founded Rightfully Hers because I have seen the discrimination many women face and feel the need to combat it as best I can. My experience with women’s rights and specifically women’s health started when I first read the book about Malala Youzafsai, a youth activist who stood up to the Taliban in support of girls’ education. For over six years, I have been involved with women’s rights attending UN conferences, organizing events, researching maternal health, advocating and working to further the cause of a safer, healthier world for all girls and women. I have led the Girls Education Fund club in my Middle School and lead the POWER club for women’s causes in my High School currently. Helping women is something that fuels me every day and I am so excited to continue this journey with Rightfully Hers to empower women across the globe.
