She harped on the fact that women should strive to engage in things that men are engaged in and even do them better, saying “there should be nothing a man can do that women shouldn’t do and even better.”
She added “our individual actions, conversations and mindsets can have an impact on our larger society. Then there is need for each individual to realize that when equality challenges become a restrictive norm and self-doubt is avoided, we will definitely have an equal world.”
She then encouraged all women to join hands in order to build a gender equal world.
