The caption reads, “Charity begins at home! Be kind, be nice, they say. But you know what? So does support, so does empowerment! Look at the women around you- you daughters, sisters, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, the one you meet on the street, remind them every single day that they are stronger than they’ve been told. Lift them up.”
Vidya Balan continues the caption, “We’re surrounded by the most extraordinary women every single day who need our support. A little nudge that reminds them if there’s a fight, they have an army standing right behind them.”
