Kavita Krishnan is a women's rights activist who has publicised the problem of violence against women following the Delhi gang rape of Nirbhaya. Krishnan was also a politburo member of the Communist Party of India Marxist—Leninist Liberation and had been a member of its Central Committee for over two decades. She grew up in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh. She completed her BA from St.

Xavier's College, Mumbai. Kavita Krishnan became part of a theater group led by Arun Ferreira in St. Xavier's College, Mumbai affiliated college of University of Mumbai and she would participate in street plays and protests. Her serious stint with political activism took place when she joined the Jawaharlal Nehru University where she earned her master's degree and was elected Joint Secretary of the Students' Union in Kavita Krishnan's life as an activist took a serious turn after this incident.

In this speech, she laid out a kind of manifesto of the movement, one that represented a major break from the securitised, protectionist standpoint which was rife at that time and articulated women's freedom as the main demand. She pointed out that the conviction rates for rape in India are extremely low and, therefore, methods such as chemical castration and death penalty can't act as deterrents.

She made a strong case for arguing on the basis of women's "unqualified freedom", "freedom without fear". Her views on death penalty have been influential in shaping the discourse around rape in the aftermath of the post 16 December anti-rape protests. On Sri Lanka Easter bombings , Krishnan made a claim on Twitter, suggesting that the attack was an act of "majoritarian terror against religious minorities.
