Nesatun was married off at the age of 15 but then broke all the rules by continuing her education from the school in her in-laws’ village school. The marriage didn’t hinder her from achieving her dreams though. She completed basic schooling and went on to advocate for the education of girls. Following in her footsteps, many local women signed up to complete their education.

Nesatun firmly believes that financial empowerment will lead to women achieving greater equality, independence and justice. In a country where most women depend on men for financial security, she  shares the financial responsibility of her household and daughter's education with her husband. After joining Video Volunteers as a Community Correspondent, she has helped widowed women demand their widow pension, and has reported on the lack of access to maternal health services.

West Bengal, along with Bangladesh, is one of the worst-affected places with arsenic poisoning in the world. Nesatun's home, Murshidabad is one such affected district in the state. Even as the state and central government continue to ignore the seriousness of the problem, Nesatun, along with many of West Bengal Community Correspondents, is gathering evidence that documents the effects of the contamination on her community as well as the apathy of the government to find a recourse to help the community.

Nesatun was previously associated with the NGO CINI, and worked extensively on issues of arsenic poisoned water, child marriage, gender violence and trafficking, and she is continuing to work on these subjects at Video Volunteers.

She is acutely aware of the fact that she and her community's lack of facilities have had no outside media interest so far. Therefore she has taken it upon herself to bring the rightful facilities to the community through digital storytelling.
