Mumbai, March 8 (NationPress) On Women’s Day 2025, actress Giorgia Andriani shared her thoughts on the concept of gender equality. In an exclusive interview with IANS, she stated, "True equality, in my view, does not imply that we should erase or disregard our distinctive characteristics. I mean being regarded as equal regarding the opportunities presented to us and the manner in which both genders pursue these opportunities, ensuring fair treatment. I believe that true equality will only be realized when society grasps the meaning of equality, eliminating the need for continuous discussions to instill this understanding in people’s minds; it should be a natural state of existence."
When asked about her privileged background and the ongoing struggles faced by many women, Giorgia responded, "Being from a fortunate background, I acknowledge that I have a responsibility. It is not merely an opportunity but an obligation to advocate for those who are discriminated against. I see it as my honorable duty to amplify the voices of those who lack the means to be heard. Moreover, I aim to support initiatives that provide equal opportunities for everyone."
Giorgia also emphasized the necessity for change within the entertainment industry to empower women: "Workplace gender equality will commence only when two key issues are tackled - leadership roles and the pay disparity. I firmly believe that granting women equal opportunities and authority in decision-making will lead to the introduction of unique insights that are not influenced by the opposite gender. Furthermore, equitable pay that matches their male counterparts is not just a recognition of their contributions but also serves as a compelling incentive. I am convinced that true empowerment will be achieved when women are evaluated solely based on their merit."
