Filmmaker Meets A Female Auto Driver, Pens A Heartfelt Note On Why Her City Respects Women

Who run the world? Girls!

The number of women who are choosing to work is steadily increasing, especially in India.

In this dark world that is plagued with assaults, rapes, and killings of women, any story that reaffirms our faith in humanity reminds us that good people can still be found. Good people who help others. Good people who bravely stand up against the injustices of the world. Good people who know what it takes to be human. As they say, "kill them with kindness". On that note, I take your leave and I hope that together we will make our country the safest home for her girls.
