On Thursday, Suhana Khan shared a message from Navya Naveli Nanda on her Instagram stories. ADVERTISEMENT "Yet another horrific rape has unfolded in front of our eyes.
First and most importantly, let us pray for her and her family.Women have always played a very important role in the growth and development of our country. The workplace, the classroom and the home must be an enabling and safe space for us.
Men and women need to unite against those mindsets and belief systems that continuously objectify women or think of them as easy prey," read the Instagram post. "The times we are out at night or what we wear are NOT signs for anything other than the fact that we have a right to live our life the way we desire. And for this, we cannot be made to live in continued fear or under threat.
While nothing can ever compensate the pain and suffering the doctor went through that day, we need to take concrete steps to ensure this NEVER happens again. Whether it's stricter law enforcement or building safety protocols - steps need to be taken immediately. We deserve better.
We will continue to fight for better. Because nothing and no one should ever be able to override the agency and dignity of women," it further read. Earlier in the day, condemned the grue.
