BBC 100 Women 2017: Who is on the list?

The BBC has revealed its list of 100 inspirational and innovative women for 2017.

This year, the women on the list were part of the 100 Women Challenge, tackling some of the biggest problems facing women around the world.

Coming together in four teams, the women shared their experiences and created innovative ways to tackle:

• The glass ceiling - #Teamlead

• Female illiteracy - #Teamread

• Street harassment - #Teamgo

• Sexism in sport - #Teamplay

You might notice something different this year; when the list was launched in September, there were still 40 spaces to be filled. As the season progressed, more women who had taken up the challenge in some way were added to the list.

• Job: Writer

• Age: 32

• Country of Birth: India
  

"We are so much more than we think we are. Our souls are so very powerful. If only we looked inside ourselves rather than outside and tapped into our infinite potential - this world would be a very different place than it is right now

Through her writing, teaching and not-for-profit work, Ira Trivedi hopes to sensitise minds, bodies and spirits to feel the oneness that we are all part of."
