In an era where global discourse often overlooks the grassroots, Google-recognized Advocate Mita Banerjee is stepping up for those who are too often left unheard. This July, she will once again represent India at the United Nations General Assembly, this time in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, standing tall on the world stage to voice issues that matter deeply to the nation and the marginalized.
The focus of this year’s assembly?
“The Automation Gap: Creating Inclusive Job Markets in the Age of Artificial Intelligence”
In alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals – SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work), and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure)
This milestone marks Advocate Mita Banerjee’s third appearance at the UN General Assembly, previously representing India at:
🇹🇭 Thailand Conference – 2022
🇮🇳 Delhi, India – 2023
🇲🇾 Malaysia – 2025
Her presence is not just ceremonial — it’s strategic. It’s impactful. And most importantly, it’s deeply earned.
India’s Legal Warrior on a Global Stage
From the courts of Kolkata to the global stage, Advocate Mita Banerjee is not just a name — she is a force for social transformation. For over a decade, she has fought for the rights of those most ignored by the system: transgender individuals, sex workers, survivors of abuse, street animals, and underprivileged children.
Her tireless efforts have:
Empowered 100+ transgender individuals to enter dignified professions including security forces
Provided pro bono legal aid to over 900 victims of injustice
Rescued 200+ stray animals, championing their inclusion in India’s police and armed forces
Advocated for children born to sex workers to gain access to quality education
Led legal battles to protect religious and cultural integrity, including landmark PILs on Hindu sentiments
As a Padma Shri nominee for 2025 in the field of Social Work, Law & Human Rights, her selection to represent India at the United Nations is not just fitting—it’s necessary.
AI, Automation & the Forgotten Majority
The theme of this year’s United Nations General Assembly — The Automation Gap — is an issue that intersects powerfully with her grassroots legal work.
While nations debate automation and artificial intelligence, Advocate Mita Banerjee is raising the question that few ask:
Who is being left behind?
From street vendors and informal laborers to single mothers and marginalized genders, she brings a voice rooted in India’s deepest social truths. Her interventions at the UN will focus on:
Bridging the digital divide
Reskilling the underserved
Ensuring AI development respects human rights
Legally protecting gig and informal workers in the new economy
A Journey of Purpose, Powered by People
Her work goes far beyond international platforms. She has:
Educated CRPF troops and locals in Bastar, leading to the surrender of 12 Naxalites through peace and awareness
Installed borewells and water systems in drought-stricken villages
Formed the Akhand Bhartiya Sanatani Sangh to revive Vedic teachings, organize cultural events, and uphold religious sanctity
Petitioned for dignified last rites of unclaimed dead bodies at public hospitals
Every case she fights, every child she helps, and every animal she saves is not just an act of service — it’s a building block in the India she envisions.
