Meher Pestonji is a freelance journalist and an activist. She participated actively in the campaign to change rape law in the \'70s. She has also struggled persistently to fight for the housing rights of slum dwellers, children\'s rights and anti-communalism campaigns.
After Pestonji’s marriage broke up, she chose freelance journalism as a career despite it leading to financial insecurity. She chose freelancing because she felt it helped her learn new things, expand her horizons and enrich her life in every way. She felt that this career gave her the opportunity to talk to street children, film stars, to interview scientists and businesspeople and social workers.
Pestonji calls herself \'an accidental Parsi\'. She said in an interview: After my divorce, I became a freelance journalist and came into contact with a different set of attitudes, contrary to those of my childhood friends. There was this split in my thinking, my identity. Being a journalist and a Parsi are two separate things, and often these clashed. My perception as a journalist prevailed over any kind of loyalty to my community which I don\'t have.( Times of India, 19 Sep 99).
