As the world gears up to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8th, actress Jyoti Saxena voices a poignant reminder that the essence of this day transcends mere token gestures. Jyoti Saxena has always been very vocal about her thoughts and opinions and as the world celebrates Women’s Day, the actress underscores the significance of shifting the narrative from superficial perks to substantive societal change.

Every Day is Women’s Day: Striving for True Equality

“I believe Women’s Day only celebrates women more, but honestly, I feel every day is a women’s day.”Stressing in a world full of judgements can never be easy, but I feel women like me and everyone out there can do it with great strength and power. We don’t need a day dedicated to discounts and freebies. We all are very capable of buying those things for ourselves. What we truly need is equality in its truest sense—equal pay, equal opportunities, and gender equality across all spheres of life.”

Dismantling Barriers: Pursuing True Gender Equality

She further asserts, “We are almost in the 21st century, yet many still categorize and typecast women based on various factors, which is a harsh reality.” True empowerment lies in dismantling systemic barriers that hamper women’s progress. Jyoti Saxena passionately exclaims, “We don’t just need a day to know that we are special, for discounts, or for flowers or anything because I relate with Miley Cyrus who says, ‘I can buy myself flowers.’ I can also take myself on solo dates, solo trips. What I just want from society is to treat me equally and not categorize me as if we can do much more than a man can do.”
