Ahead of the International Women’s Day, Young actress Pia Bajpiee whose just 28 years wants to start contributing towards society,joins the discussion around women empowerment by pointing out the differences in the needs of rural and urban women.
She says, “ Women have different needs as
we go from urban to rural areas. Where the urban women proudly celebrate the
fact that they are women, the simple ladies of the rural areas merely crave for
due attention and respect. They have smaller and more basic demands like being
treated as equal humans and the freedom to pursue their education and careers.
More often than not these women have the ambition and the courage to stand up
for their rights but only need a nudge in the right direction. The urban women
in the other hand throw parties and loud bashes as a way of directing attention
towards their needs and demands. They also want to celebrate their womanhood
and identities.”
Recognizing what is best for our fellow
counterparts in the lesser developed regions is only step one. The next is to
try and help them. Pia has done just that by holding hands of those women who
need help in asking for their rights and by educating the women folk.
