Women are not willing to settle for less anymore: Priyanka

TIL Desk Bollywood/ She is a woman who follows her heart and is an inspiration for other women. Priyanka Chopra, who is effortlessly straddling two worlds and is also a Unicef goodwill ambassador, says women have always been considered second-class citizens globally and she would like to see a change in the mindset of those who devalue a girl child.

We are living in an extremely patriarchal society, not just in India, but in the whole world. Women have always been second-class citizens. We have to fight to get opportunities, to become a leader (but) the one thing that I have seen is that now women are not willing to settle (for less) anymore, and that’s a big difference. Priyanka told when asked to comment on the changes she has noticed among people towards women and the girl child in India.

“It’s not like the world is going to change in 10 years. Hopefully, I will see it in my lifetime. But if not, (it should change) for the next generation. That’s what I am hoping. I love the tenacity… of seeing women supporting each other, of women turning around and telling that ‘it’s wrong’.”The fact is we are living in the era of social media, you are not alone. There’s good and bad in everything, but in this case, you are not alone and that is the biggest change.
