Championing the cause of women empowerment and gender equality was Kriti Sanon who joined the 50th anniversary celebration of UNFPA (United Nations Fund for Population Activities) India on Monday.
The actress was appreciated for her role in Mimi, for which she also won the National Award, and while addressing the gathering, Natalia Kanem, Executive Director, UNFPA, said, “It is a pleasure to have Kriti Sanon with us today as we celebrate 50 years of UNFPA India. Kriti, your voice and work make such a difference in advancing the issues that are important to women and young people. Kriti chooses roles that reflect strong female characters. One example of that is Mimi and through that film she brings attention to the emotional and complex journey of surrogate motherhood focussing on choices around surrogacy. It is a story that we really don’t heart enough about - women’s reproductive health, life-changing and challenging decisions that women make each and every day. This movie gets people thinking. It also increases understanding about important issues and Kriti does it with such skill and grace, winning the National Award. Kriti continues to be an inspiring role model, especially for that young girl that UNFPA always keeps in mind, she is helping them dream big. She has shown them that with courage and conviction we can indeed break barriers and redefine norms. We look forward to your incredible impact as you advocate and hone your craft.”
Kriti shared, “I almost got emotional hearing so much about myself. But today is not about me, it is about UNFPA and the amazing work that they have done in India. I am really happy to be here and I hope to be a small part of this big change that you are bringing about.”
The actress also attended a panel discussion on gender equality and women empowerment.
