“There is no difference between men and women. Everyone is equal — and we can switch roles,” says Tumpa.

Redefining equality through her work

Each day, as another body arrives, Tumpa puts on her gloves and mask, steadies herself, and begins the ritual. She knows what her work demands — strength, empathy, and composure.

“In today’s world, there’s no difference between a man and a woman,” she says. “Everyone is equal, and we can switch roles.”

Through her unwavering commitment, Tumpa redefines dignity — proving that courage can burn brighter than fear, even amid the fires of death.
