Svetlana Anokhina is one of the most prominent human rights defenders in Daghestan. She is a journalist, an advocate of women's rights and a co-founder of Marem crisis group.

In her own words, she entered journalism at the age of 38. Soon she became an editor-in-chief of Daptar, the only North Caucasian online media writing on women's rights. In her articles, Anokhina exposed multiple violent practices against women in the North Caucasus, such as domestic abuse, forced marriages, full control by male relatives, female circumcision, etc.

In July 2020, she co-founded Marem, an NGO and a crisis group for victims of gender-based abuse. Marem helps victims of domestic violence from Dagestan, Chechnya and other North Caucasus republics to evacuate from the country and find shelter. Marem also provides legal and psychological support to victims. The organization was named in honour of Marem Alieva, a woman from Ingushetia who disappeared in 2015. A victim of physical and psychological abuse from her husband, she managed to escape with the help of local human rights activists, but returned home when she was told that her husband had sworn on the Quran not to hit her again. She disappeared on the next day after her return, before that she called her sister telling that a group of men approached her house. Bloodstained hair and a rope were found inside. In 2019 Alieva's case became the first when the European Court of Human Rights examined a case of domestic abuse.
