New Delhi, India – Olympian wrestler Vinesh Phogat joins her palms together and mimics holding her niece as a newborn as she recounts the “trigger point” that made her decide to protest about the sexual harassment of female wresters in India.
“I started thinking about my brother’s [now 9-year-old] daughter who has started wrestling,” Phogat, 28, told Al Jazeera, at a sit-in in the Indian capital New Delhi.
