Raveena Tandon selected as a delegate at W20

• Raveena Tandon is honored to be the first representative.
• Tandon has been selected by the government.
• She wants to highlight women’s security at W20.

The actor Raveena Tandon is honored to be the first representative from the entertainment sector at the W20, and she acknowledges that the post carries a lot of responsibility because she must speak up for women’s issues and answer all of their worries.

Tandon has been selected by the government to represent India’s Presidency of the G20 at the prestigious W20, the Women’s Empowerment engagement branch.

“It does come with a lot of responsibility. At the summit, we do have to bring to the forefront the issues faced by women, pan-India across all spectrums and fields that they work in, from the entertainment industry to corporate sectors to the basic fieldwork. So, there is a lot of added responsibility along with that,” Tandon acknowledges.

The Women 20 (W20) is a recognised G20 engagement organisation that was created in 2015 while Turkey held the presidency. In order to promote gender equality and women’s economic empowerment, it is important to make sure that gender concerns are integrated into G20 debates and reflected in the G20 Leaders Declaration’s promises and policies.

“First and foremost, I’m very proud that I’m born in India, which gives umpteen amount of opportunities to women. In our country, women have literally broken glass ceilings, from being truck drivers to pilots to working in the Army or Air Force, to working in fields, railways to even becoming bus drivers. Women are actually making progress leaps and bounds. I’m very, very proud that I live in a country which gives this kind of freedom and kinds of opportunities to women,” The actor makes this claim while promoting the rights of girls through his persistent work with UNICEF, Cry, the White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood, the Spina Bifida Association, and the Smile foundation, among other organisations.

“We also need to highlight the security measures for them. Highlight the fact that a lot of fast tracking as far as our laws are concerned (is needed). Because in India, our laws are very supportive towards women, but most of the time they don’t get implemented or the justice is meted out in time. So I would love to highlight these points,” says the actor “fantastic opportunity to empower women and provide them with more rights for their full social and economic participation”.
