Priyanka Chopra wants Women of My Billion to be a ‘beacon of hope’

In a statement, Priyanka Chopra explained the aim of the documentary. She said, “Women have borne the brunt of gender bias for far too long, enduring a silent struggle against entrenched social injustices that seek to suppress their voices. With WOMB, the aim is to transcend these struggles - to be a beacon of hope.”

The actress also clarified that the film is not just meant to showcase women’s hardships but also serve as a rallying appeal for unity and action. Priyanka expressed hope that the documentary would bring us closer to a society where all women are valued and given the opportunity to succeed.

UN SDG Changemaker Srishti Bakshi also talked about the importance of the documentary, saying, “Women of My Billion reveals the unified voice of Indian women, speaking out against the violence they endure and compels us to question our inherent perceptions and addresses the fatigue surrounding discussions on violence against women in India.” 

Speaking about what motivated her throughout her journey, Srishti said it was realizing that Indian women are all united in their bravery to oppose abuse against them. She aimed to spread this message about bravery, independence, and self-assurance through her pilgrimage. 

Srishti expressed that it was obvious that the violence in our society is caused by the actions of a minority and the silence of the majority. She concluded, “For me, the documentary serves as a call to action, urging the majority to break their silence and actively participate in addressing this critical issue.”
