Jyoti started a “Widow Empowerment Campaign”. She spoke to village elders and knocked on two hundred doors to spread her message. She learned to organise street plays, which she used to make people aware about the plight of widows.

Naturally her ideas were not acceptable to the society entrenched in tradition. People pushed her out of their houses and refused to listen to what she had to say.
