==Early life and education==
Martha was born on 5 June 1959 to Iona and Noel Farrell in [[Delhi]]. She studied English literature at [[Delhi University]], and did a [[Master of Social Work]] at the [[Delhi School of Social Work]].<ref name="MFF" /> She completed her [[PhD]] from [[Jamia Millia Islamia]] in 2013.

==Career==
She began her career in 1981 as a literacy worker at Ankur, an [[NGO]] working for women’s literacy and empowerment in Delhi. She broadened her focus into adult education, where she began her lifelong practice of participatory learning methodology. In 1991, she co-founded Creative Learning for Change, an NGO consisting of development professionals involved in research, training and documentation of learning materials for students, teachers and facilitators in non-formal settings.

Martha formally joined [http://www.pria.org/ ''PRIA (Society for Participatory Research in Asia)''] in 1996, founded by her husband, Dr. [[Rajesh Tandon]]. As Director of PRIA’s program on Gender Mainstreaming in Institutions, she trained thousands of [[grassroots]] women leaders and professionals from different walks of life on issues related to citizen engagement in local governance, gender mainstreaming and [[sexual harassment]]. From 2005 onwards, she led PRIA’s work on distance education, founding and developing PRIA International Academy, the academic wing of the organization. She also taught part-time at the [[University of Victoria]] and [[Royal Roads University]] in [[Canada]].
Martha’s crusade for gender mainstreaming in organizations began in 1998 when the [[Vishakha Guidelines]] for the prevention of sexual harassment at workplaces were formulated by the [[Supreme Court of India]].

==Books==
In 2014, she published the first Indian book on the subject, Engendering the Workplace: [[Gender Discrimination]] & Prevention of [[Sexual harassment]] in Organizations. This book is a milestone for those wishing to pursue further work on the issue of sexual harassment at the workplace.<ref name="JMI">{{cite web|url=http://jmi.ac.in/upload/Research/ab_2013_sw_martha.pdf |title=Engendering the Workplace: A study of Gender Discrimination and Sexual Harassment in Civil Society Organisations |publisher=Jamia Millia |accessdate=2016-11-29}}</ref> She has written several other books on issues such as [[Adult Education]], [[Environmental policy|Environment]], [[Occupational Health and Safety]], [[Gender mainstreaming]], and [[Women's empowerment]].<ref name="MFF" />

==Personal life==

Alongside her professional contributions, Martha supported PRIA to become a place of warm welcome and comfort for all staff and visitors, so that learning could take place in a caring and safe environment.<ref name="MFF" />

Amongst Martha’s great personal characteristics was her ability to seamlessly integrate with everyone from all walks of life. Martha was a thoughtful friend, a great support to others, and a generous giver of gifts, great food and warm hospitality. The Tandon/Farrell household was always full of guests, laughter, and more food than one could finish.<ref name="MFF" />

==Legacy==

The [[Martha Farrell Foundation]] (MFF), [[The Martha Farrell Memorial Fellowship]] and [[Martha Farrell Award for Excellence in Women's Empowerment]] have been set up to carry forward her pioneering work on gender mainstreaming and adult education, with the overall goal of achieving gender equality in India and around the world. The Foundation supports targeted and practical interventions in areas relevant to her work. This includes gender mainstreaming, gender equality, preventing sexual harassment and violence against women, and continuing education.<ref name="ACU" /><ref name="MFF O">{{cite web |url=http://www.marthafarrellfoundation.org/overview.html |title=The Foundation Overview |publisher=MFF |accessdate=2016-12-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170801110824/http://www.marthafarrellfoundation.org/overview.html |archive-date=1 August 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
