NEW DELHI: Actor Priyanka Chopra today said to inculcate the feeling of equality in children, it is important for parents to not discriminate between their kids on the basis of gender.
The actor, who is a UNICEF Goodwill ambassador, said the change will only be visible if the society starts teaching boys to respect girls.
“I would like to convey it to the parents that they should not differentiate between their kids on the basis of gender.
“…Boys, when they walk on roads, feel it is okay to tease a girl. It is because our society has taught us that ‘it is cool for a guy to tease a girl’. We need to teach the boys that real man is someone who respects girl,” Priyanka said here.
The actor was speaking at a discussion on the need for empowering adolescent girls and boys, organised by the UNICEF. (AGENCIES)
