Famous Female Animal Activists In India Gauri Maulekhi

Some people CALL THEMSELVES animal lovers, and others ARE animal lovers. Gauri Maulekhi falls into the latter category. She is a renowned Animal Welfare Activist in India and one of the world’s most famous female animal activists. Her defense work for those who cannot defend themselves has earned her widespread recognition and made her a favorite of Maneka Gandhi, a Lok Sabha MP, and an animal rights activist.

It’s not enough to love animals; it’s not enough to show outrage on social media. DO SOMETHING ABOUT INJUSTICE 

                 – Gauri Maulekhi 

Gauri has already done so much for the distressed animals in need but still is very much involved with the cause because she believes we must raise our voices for the mute animals in distress.

Gauri Maulekhi Early Life

Born and raised in a business family in Lucknow, Gauri Maulekhi completed her schooling at the Loretto Convent, Lucknow. After that, she earned a BSc and Bachelor in Education from Lucknow University.

Since childhood, she has had a soft corner for street animals. After completing her education, she started working for People for Animals in 1995 as a volunteer and became a protégé of Maneka Gandhi.

Gauri also became active with her cause on the international level when she lobbied in Nepal to end the enormous mass religious animal slaughter of the Gadhimai Festival. She has also consulted with Humane Society International, the world`s largest Animal Protection Group.

The ardent animal lover Gauri helped evacuate over 6000 animals during the devastating 2013 North India Flood.
