ensure all girls in your community have the same freedom and mobility as boys.

create a ripple and an impact. To all the women fighting for what they believe
in, don't give up! Happy Women's Day.

girls. Happy International Women's Day. I hope we realise we don't need a day to
remind us to respect women because we need to do it everyday.
Madhur
Bhandarkar: I've always been touched by the commitment, dedication and struggle
that a woman goes through as a individual, mother, sister, wife, daughter to
survive and I've tried to signify it through my films and will continue to do
so. My respect and gratitude to every woman. Happy Women's Day.
