In 2016, he founded Stolen Dreams, an anti-slavery organisation that acts as a bridge between young people and some of the greatest human rights issues of our time.
As an intersectional activist, Ishaan also addresses a number of other global issues including gender inequality, climate change, LGBTQI+ rights, poverty, access to education; all based around the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. Ishaan has spread his message widely through social media, television, articles, blogs, podcasts, public speaking and teaching lessons at schools.
