Nandita Das supports Sheena Chohan’s campaign on Human Rights Day

On Human Rights Day, acclaimed actress and filmmaker Nandita Das said the right Don’t Discriminate is the only way to create a peaceful world. Nandita said, “The right Don’t Discriminate is the only way we can create a peaceful and just world. It’s what makes us human— that’s what makes us compassionate—that’s when we care about the world we live in. When we discriminate we create the other, we become fearful of the other, we become unjust and we justify violence.”

Apart from Nandita, Sonakshi Sinha, Anushka Sen and Ruchi Narain helped actress Sheena Chohan launch her new campaign, Read Me My Rights, which asks artistes to read and post online the right that is most important to them from the United Nations Universal Declaration on Human Rights. Those who joined the movement include Preety Zinta, Raveena Tandon, Sonu Sood, Imtiaz Ali, Guneet Monga, Sanjana Sanghi and many more.
