The 71st Cannes International Film Festival which is happening at Cannes, France is not just a platform for glitz and glamour. It also doubles up as a platform for social awareness. This is exactly what Huma Qureshi did at Cannes. Not only did she walk the red carpet, she also initiated a social awareness campaign on sexual advances that woman have to deal with in any field of work!
The Grey Goose ambassador said that it is not just the film industry where a woman is sexually exploited; rather, sexual exploitation is a common phenomenon for women working in any field.
The actor also spoke about freedom of expression, the condition of women in India and mentioned the #MeToo movement in India, which is an international movement against sexual harassment. Huma Qureshi herself had to deal with sexual exploitation. She said, sexual exploitation is largely based on the power a person holds.
The actor stressed on the necessity of the victims standing up against it.
Hoping that such a strong message from Huma Qureshi will go a long way in reducing exploitation.
