At just 10 years old, K.G. Nimali S. Kumari—affectionately known as Nimmu—escaped severe abuse at home, only to spend the next 15 years in Sri Lankan children’s homes.
Those years, though filled with hardship, forged her resilience, courage, and unshakable belief in the power of change.
Now 35, Nimmu is not just a survivor—she is a global advocate for children’s rights. With degrees in Journalism and Mass Communication, along with qualifications in criminal investigation and psychology, she has transformed her personal pain into a force for justice. She has spoken at United Nations conferences, represented care leavers on the world stage, and co-founded Asia’s first care leavers network.
Her memoir, Dumburu Pathok (Sinhala) / The Caged Girl: A Journey to Justice (English), tells her remarkable story—from escaping abuse to leading the charge for child welfare reform.
