Yami Gautam who is enjoying the twin success of A Thursday and Dasvi, is a very good thinker, and talks about varied aspects where our country faces problems. Recently, a report on msn.com had Yami’s thoughts on what she felt about the importance of education and the need to have equal economic opportunities. We take reference from that story for our write up here.
In an exclusive talk with indianexpress on the success of Dasvi, when Yami was asked about this topic, she said, “I think education is one of the strongest tools to overcome this taboo. Counselling has to be done not only for girls, but also for boys at a very young age when they are hitting their puberty so that the men they grow up to be are more aware that this is not a taboo. The educational structure needs to be improvised where every school regardless of any course has counselling for both girls and boys to normalise it. It becomes taboo when you avoid a discussion. So, in addition to technical education, moral education is important for both genders so that they are aware and respectful.”
So very well said, Yami!!
