Mridula Pradhan's Wake-Up Call: 'Beti-Beta' Equality Still a Distant Dream

Speaking before a conference in New Delhi on Women Empowerment hosted by the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce, Vikas Foundation Trust Chairperson Mridula Pradhan stressed the need for very genuine gender equality and that 'Beti-Beta Ek Saman' must start to be practiced in every domain of society. She highlighted the need for women's respect with reference to a Sanskrit shloka that links women's respect to divine blessings. Pradhan quite passionately spoke in favor of protecting women's rights, especially reproductive rights. The conference, 'Celebrating Womanhood: Empower, Educate, Elevate,' had some prominent leaders talk about the key importance of women's empowerment for the progress of society.
