Sonam: education is empowerment

Actress Sonam Kapoor believes that educating girls about their bodies is equivalent to empowering them to feel more confident about taking care of themselves.

“When we embolden the youth of our communities, we create a positive change for the future,” she said.

Kapoor was at an event to support the accomplishments of the She’s Ambassador programme by PVR Nest and Mumbai Obstetrics & Gynaecological Society (MOGS).

“She’s Ambassador initiative has not only empowered but inspired these young girls and made them self-aware, confident, equipping them to take full charge of their own development and become a role model for thousand others,” she added.

Kapoor will next be seen in Pad Man, based on the true story of a man who devised low-cost sanitary napkins for poor women in India. It releases in the UAE on February 8.
