Sonam Kapoor says education is empowerment
The actress will next be seen in Pad Man', about a man who devised low-cost sanitary napkins
Actress Sonam Kapoor believes that educating girls about their bodies is equivalent to empowering them to feel more confident about taking care of themselves.
"When we embolden the youth of our communities, we create a positive change for the future, she said.
Kapoor was at an event to support the accomplishments of She's Ambassador programme by PVR Nest and Mumbai Obstetrics & Gynaecological Society (MOGS).
"She's Ambassador initiative has not only empowered but inspired these young girls and made them self-aware, confident, equipping them to take full charge of their own development and become a role model for thousand others, she added.
The initiative was also supported by producer-author-entrepreneur Twinkle Khanna and politician Priya Dutt.
The programme included knowledge sessions, new age counselling sessions with multi-sectored influencers, film-making workshops and project-based learning on nutrition and fitness, menstrual health and hygiene, communicable and non-communicable diseases, sanitation and cleanliness and mental health and well-being.
Kapoor will next be seen in Pad Man, based on the true story of a man who devised low-cost sanitary napkins for poor women in India. It releases in the UAE on February 8.
