She will also be speaking to a member of the Committee to Protect Journalists to discuss press freedom in India, the treatment of journalists, and what the community can do to take action.

Kaur also took to Twitter on Thursday to speak out against the "misogyny" that was shown when Rihanna, Greta Thunberg and Meena Harris spoke up about the violence in India.

"misogyny and rightwing regimes go hand in hand," she tweeted.
