18 Mar 2015

When it comes to voicing out one's opinions, there won't be too many to lead the pack. But many Bollywood celebrities today are coming out of their way to show their support towards the cause they believe in. One such persona is Dia Mirza who has always come forward to lend her voice for various social initiatives.

This time around, she has associated herself with a Delhi based NGO, which works towards the betterment of underprivileged by giving opportunity to work in creative sectors. This year, the said NGO (Creative Services Support Group) has put together a platform that will highlight gender equality and woman empowerment. As a part of the larger picture for the current year, the NGO has planned a unique exhibition where writing works of women and girls across the world will be showcased to reflect how similar they are, regardless of where they hail from. And when the NGO approached Dia to be a part of this campaign, she not only gave her nod to shoot a video, but also reached out to Konkona Sen Sharma, Aditi Rao Hydari and Richa Chadha to recite this powerfully worded poem. The video will premiere at an exhibition in Delhi towards the end of this month.

Speaking about the cause, Dia said, "I feel privileged to be able to lend my voice in support to CSSG #AndStilliRise campaign. And I feel very blessed to be able to bring people together to make a difference. Women will be truly empowered the day women RISE in support of women".
