Actress Priyanka Chopra dedicated International Women’s Day to the women all over the world who are helping with the global refugee crisis. She shared several slides that spoke about women from all over the world- from Ukraine to Afghanistan. The first slide read, “To the women before me that fought the fight, I thank you. To the women after me, I will continue that fight.” It was followed by the viral photo of Poland women leaving empty strollers on the platform for Ukrainian mothers arriving and seeking refuge.
She also shared an image of a female-led organisation based in Kampala, Uganda, that help Sudanese women. Her slides were also dedicated to the women helping Syrian refugees and Afghan women leaders asking for their rights at the UN. She captioned the post as, “They rose from amongst us, for the world, to serve the world. On a day meant to honour women around the world, I wanted to showcase some incredible women whose stories inspire me. These brave women are on the frontline of the refugee crisis around the world. I thank you for your tireless dedication. I wish you all a very happy #InternationalWomensDay ❤️.”
