In light of the increasing cases of domestic violence amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Indian actress Kriti Sanon extended her support to the victims and urged for change.Â
In a video message on Instagram, the diva urged victims of domestic abuse to muster the courage to come forward against their abusers as well as encouraging others whom may know a victim.
“While we have been in the midst of this pandemic, the rate of harassment and gender-based violence has been increasing and is worrisome,” she said.
“There are two obstacles. First there is a lack of awareness and second under reporting of cases.”
“It is extremely important for us to eliminate this issue.”
