A fierce advocate of women empowerment, Sonam K Ahuja has often used her celebrity status to bring women's issues to the forefront. Ahead of India's 73rd Independence Day celebrations, the actor has joined hands with YouCanFreeUs, an international human rights organisation that fights human trafficking, to host a charity dinner at Tote On The Turf in Worli tonight. The proceeds from the dinner will go towards the non-profit organisation that aims to rescue and rehabilitate trafficked victims from the red-light districts of Mumbai.
Aware of how human trafficking continues to plague our country, the actor says strategic measures need to be taken to curb the social malaise. "We can begin by educating our women, and even men. We need to provide employment opportunities to the victims and offer a means to a livelihood to them."
