Women judged on basis of how they dress and speak
As the world celebrates International Women's Day on Monday, actress Anupria Goenka hopes that everyone learns how exactly to respect women.
"It is very ironical that at a time whenever we have women at power positions, most of us are still denied our basic rights and equal opportunity continues to be a myth which explains why pay disparity is still a burning issue," she said.
"What bothers me is that women are judged based on how they dress and how they speak, be it in personal or professional circles. If we don't adhere to society's definition of morality, we are called all sorts of names and are accused of sending out signals to invite men," she added.
The actress will be observed in web series, and she says that through her work, she will always try to highlight issues that are of relavence to women's security and growth. Anupria has already been creating awareness through social media.
"I have begun creating awareness on my social media where I share mine and other women's personal experience linked to gender discrimination. I want to be instrumental in causing a shift in people's mindsets. Whenever the tiny outfits run by women approach me to market their work, I do my bit to inspire women's agency and spirit," she said.
