Richa Chadha took to her social media this morning
to spread a pivotal message on the National Day for the GirlChild which is
marked today, 24th January annually in India. Richa who has always
been looked upon as a figure who speaks her mind and especially when it comes
to empowerment of women, the audience at large knows that Richa has always
spoken for the right in this case. On this day she has an interesting message
to share giving her take on the #HeforShe campaign which is administered by the
United Nations to make men and boys be the agents of change for equal rights of
women. However, Richa strongly feels its a need of the hour to make it #HeForUs
campaign allowing a larger inclusion of this conversation where a more cohesive
environment is built where a more balanced treatment for both genders is
created.
In her video, Richa says, "I got a thought on
this National day go Girl Child that while we talk about government initiatives
like Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao but I think we need to discuss things like
everyday sexism too. Things like discussing gender pay disparity, or the
hesitant attitude to report sexual crime. And even the fact that the number of
child rapes are increasing everyday. What does that mean? Are women only
objects which are used and thrown away. Not a day we wake up where there isn't
a disturbing news. How will we as a country progress where half the population
is treated as a liability? Adding to that, I feel this HeForShe movement which
is ongoing. I feel for the survival of the human race depends both on men and
women. I feel it should be HeForUs instead. We need to survive, we need to feel
equal. I am hoping the attitude should change which is already happening but we
still have a long way to do. But here's hoping we can all do it together
because it is the need of the hour".
