Delhi last night. The actor travelled from
Ireland to India for 16 hours to attend the
UNICEF meet and a book launch.
At the event, PeeCee spoke about gender
equality and women empowerment,
reported a leading news agency. The Mary
Kom actor said, "Gender equality and
women empowerment are global issues.
Every country has its cultural problems. But
women's health and women's rights are
global problems. I live in America and in
India as well. And because women are
going through problems across the globe,
we have Me Too campaign and women
coming out. Women being vocal is still new
to the world."
She added, "As a society, we need to focus
on what are we doing for our women and
children."
Priyanka Chopra is a UNICEF Goodwill
Ambassador. She focuses on improving the
health and well-being of women and
children and said that she is passionate
about the cause.
"I am very passionate and emphatic about
the causes I support. Whatever I can do to
bring people's attention to this forum I will
do it. This forum is not about supporting a
cause. It is a way of life. It is how things
should be," said the actor.
The Quantico actor also said, "It's not like
the world is going to change in 10 years.
Hopefully, I will see it in my lifetime. But if
not, (it should change) for the next
generation. That's what I am hoping. I love
the tenacity... of seeing women supporting
each other, of women turning around and
telling that 'it's wrong'."
