Dying To Be Me – Smitha:
“Dying to be me, is dedicated to the cause of women’s economic independence and a small effort to make our society think about its women and encourage and support them to realize their true potential,” Smita wrote on YouTube.
As per the reports women comprise 50% of India’s population, contribute to 70% of India’s working hours, earn 10% of India’s salary. But, own 1% of India’s wealth. Women are not given the freedom to be themselves, living their own life they dreamt about even after completing 69 years of Independence. Lets support the economic Independence of women and bring the real Independence.
