Girls can and will be stronger than boys: Priyanka

Priyanka Chopra, one of the top actresses of Hindi Film Industry talks about the importance of educating the girl child, female infanticide and foeticide. The actress also mentioned about the great respect for the people like Kalpana Chawala, Sania Nehwal and Sania Mirza.

Piggy Chops states, "I am not only proud but also respect them because they have made women proud."

But what hurts Priyanka Chopra the most is that still today women are not given the due respect they deserve. "I feel very hurt when some parents tell their daughters that she is not equal to a son. It's so demeaning and insulting.

Even today so many female foeticide are taking place just for the want of a son and so many affluent families are involved in it."

Elaborating on one of the incident the actress says, "Recently there was this shocking incident where a girl child was found on the streets of South Mumbai. They had abandoned her after her birth."

Priyanka also insists about the importance to educate the girl child in our country. "I feel every girl should be educated and stand on her own feet. It's high time for people realized that a girl can, is and will be stronger than boys.

It is very important that a girl is educated and is self dependent. Only then will she be able to raise a better family and in turn a better society."

Not many know that Priyanka in her own way has been trying to educate girls from the poor family. "I try and buy books for my maids children or pay their fees so that their girls are educated. I think by doing such small amends we can educate the girl child of our country," she concludes.

Piggy Chops her self is one of the excellent example of a woman power. Great going girl...
