Session three of the NDTV Youth for Change conclave focussed on gender divide. On the panel were Arjun Kapoor, Actor, Nidhi Dubey - Country Director, Girl Rising India, Captain Anny Divya, World's youngest pilot of Boeing 777 and Sushma Verma, India's Youngest PhD Student.
Here are the highlights:
Arjun Kapoor, Actor
- I am not very educated. I didn't clear my Class 11. But my upbringing has been such that despite this lack of education, I got a chance to move on in my life to do what I wanted to do. I don't think women get such opportunity.
- I have grown up among women, predominantly with my sister and mother, and I have seen how strongly women face adversity.
- We should incorporate it in the syllabus itself how men should treat women.We always hear, 'Stop crying like a woman.' We inadvertently are implying that women are the weaker gender.
- I have a sister and somewhere there is always a concern about her safety. It is not just about urban or rural areas, world over security of women is an area of concern.
- We are moving forward and progress is everyone's right. It cannot be gender specific. Gender parity means that both are equal not one is superior than the other.
