Taraji has been working with women's issues in the Bhilwada dist. of Rajasthan since 1986. She started her stint in the area as a social-worker in UNICEF funded "Women's Development Program." After the decade-long project ended, she stayed on to serve as an advocate for the rural women who continue to seek her out. Taraji holds degrees in Psychology and Social Work, and has authored many articles on women's issues. Her book on witch-hunting in Bhilwada is awaiting release.

Taraji continues her fight to raise awareness about violence against women in every form- female foeticide, dowry deaths, domestic violence, rape. Her work with witch-hunting victims has led to the Govt. of Rajasthan drafting the "Dayan Virodhi Act." She is working to educate UNICEF and other organizations about "natha-pratha." Her sustained work with women has led to a community that is more sensitized towards this issue and a more supportive judiciary.

She hopes to conitnue with her initiativees and idea in in Bhilwada with some upcoming projects like Sangharshsheel Mahila Mela:  To organize a mela inviting about 200 women who have fought brave struggles to provide a platform for collective strength to emerge. The mela can build a solidarity and help in identifying women who can take this work forward.  The women will be honored and the team of lawyers and sensitive police officers will also be honored.
