Planet Earth and Women - You can not live without and yet ignore the most.

Advice to women: 
Throughout history, women were confined to the domestic sphere, while public life was reserved for men and as women we need to break the bias. Crimes against women have increased in recent times.

What would you say about that?
Crimes against women have not increased, but are reported more in recent times. It is an age-old practice that is to be eradicated.

What are your thoughts about feminism?
Feminism, the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the gender equality, is the need of the hour. We are conditioned to view the world from the male point of view and it is to be changed.
