Shefali Shah: Raise Boys Right for Women's Safety

Actress Shefali Shah has stressed the critical role of awareness and initiating change at home for improving women's safety. She believes that addressing the issue's root requires raising boys with the right values.

Shah articulated that women's safety should be a fundamental starting point, not the final objective. She emphasized the necessity for women to hold authority and actively participate in decision-making to shape policies that address their needs.

Furthermore, Shah pointed out the significance of economic empowerment for women, particularly those working from home in sectors like hospitality and crafts. She cited the Lizzat Papad success story as an example, noting that "women are women's biggest strength."

The Hindi film industry, according to Shah, possesses a powerful platform for social change through storytelling. She observed a shift where women are increasingly becoming storytellers, not just subjects, advocating for inclusive representation of diverse communities.
