In her oration of the holy texts, she impressed on the respect that women got in the vedic times. She never fails to give examples of Lord Krishna, Lord Rama and Vivekananda who laid importance to equality, prominence, and significance of women to the society. She emphatically highlights the Santulan initiative of Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan, in which issues of gender equality, girl child education, women empowerment, and female foeticide are being tackled and resolved with finesse. She has inspired millions of women, enabling them to overcome all disparaging societal norms. Through her interactions with the public she has been instrumental in empowering women ideologically.
Sadhvi Ji took part in an illuminating and informative panel discussion on “Girl Child: Responsibilities & Challenges” sharing her remarkable views on challenges encountered by girls and how they need must be resolved.
