It’s International Women’s Day today and all over the world, it has been celebrated to acknowledge and honor the accomplishments and contributions of women in their respective fields or for the prosperity of the society at large. This Women’s Day, Indian captain Virat Kohli shared a special and thought-provoking message for all the men and women out there.
Virat took to his Instagram account and shared a video in which he has seen explaining, how women are not equal to men but are better than equal to them. Kohli in a casual blue t-shirt of his brand ‘Wrogn’ with ‘Stay Strong’ written on it, Virat says, “Men and woman aren’t equal. I really wish we were. Honestly, the fact is, it’s easier to be one than the other. Sexual harassment, discrimination, sexism, domestic abuse and threats of violence…and the list goes on. Despite all of this, women rise and shine in all walks of life. Still, think they’re equal? No, they’re better than equal. To all the woman all around the world, I wish you all a very happy Women’s Day.”
