Tisca Chopra lends support to UN’s ‘Right To Life’

- —CJ Desk

Many Bollywood celebs are known to support various social causes — be it a fight against animal cruelty or spreading awareness about climate change, and more. Tisca Chopra, too, has come out in support of the United Nations’ Universal Declaratio­n of Human Rights’ Right to Life.

Speaking about it on a podcast, the actor said, “In India the rights of women are so badly trampled upon, taking away the right to, not just life, but life with dignity. It’s not just that you exist, but it’s the quality of that existence. I think we need to address this issue with education and I feel the right to dignity should be taught to children at junior school or even middle school. It should be spoken about frequently, called into parent-teacher meetings, once the pandemic is over, obviously, but these are things that should be discussed openly and widely.”
