Actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra went another step ahead. She emphasised on a woman’s right to equality
“Much like the two parallel lines in an ‘=’ (EQUAL) sign, all we ask for is to be considered at par in all that we do. To be given a chance at life and not be killed in the womb. To receive education like our brothers do. To feel safe in our own homes, societies, and countries. To have our ambitions, dreams, and goals be given due importance. To be accorded equal opportunities and not be held back from progressing in our chosen paths. To be paid equally like all our counterparts when the input is equal,” tweeted Shilpa.
