New Delhi
January 10, 2018
Actress Esha Gupta, who will deliver a lecture on sexual
harassment to young girls, says the issue needs to be spoken about and women
need the "necessary confidence and awareness to raise their voices".
Esha
has been approached by Delhi University to address the issue of sexual
harassment. She will be meeting and speaking to the young girls about sexual
harassment, things they face while making and how to tackle it, on January 15
here, a statement said.
"Sexual harassment at workplaces has been
happening to women from the time women were allowed to work alongside men," Esha
said in the statement.
"People understand it as a part and parcel of
being working woman. There are girls who come out and talk about it today but in
many cases there are girls who don't speak about it at all for the fear of being
shamed," she added.
Esha wants women to learn to be vocal about every
issue they face "because civililsation begins with a woman".
She will
next be seen in "Aankhen 2" on the silver screen.
