Recently UN had Launched Women India’s anthem 'Mujhe Haq Hai'. The video, which left the audience moist-eyed and cheering for those present in the room, urged women to take that leap of faith.
The video features actresses Waheeda Rehman, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kriti Sanon, Sakshi Tanwar, Jennifer Winget,
sportswomen Sania Mirza, Mithali Raj, 10-year-old prodigy Tajamul Islam, Deepa Malik, Manika Batra, women’s rights activists Meera Khanna, elective representative, Andhra Pradesh Mylapalli Lakshmi, singers Asha Bhosle, Alka Yagnik and Neeti Mohan, among several others.
Speaking about women in sports, cricketer Mithali Raj said,
“It hasn’t been an easy experience. Cricket has always been a male-dominated sport, but things have changed only recently after the World Cup. I’ve started seeing many girls playing cricket now. My message to women is that it’s important to be self-reliant and financially independent, as that gives you the confidence to take on the world. Once a woman is confident, she is capable of emotionally supporting herself. Our parents have been revolutionists and have helped us in shaping our identities. Besides, everybody deserves to be successful and have a shot at fame.”
The motive behind the even is to give women the right to choose with no fear of judgement and backlash. While sharing her story, tennis champion Sania Mirza said,
“People talk in whispers about inequality, it’s not really come out in the open. Being a part of the campaign is everything I have always believed in and it’s an absolute honor for me to try and make a change. I’ll be happy if I’m able to bring about a transformation even in one person or a family by talking or interacting with them.”
