I don’t even want to say feminism is about equality: Urwa Hocane
Actor believes that some words are misconstrued and explains why she is a feminist
Popular actor Urwa Hocane recently appeared in a talk show with host Mira Sethi, whereby she spoke about many things including her stance on feminism. She started off by detailing how many words, labels and practices are misconstrued in our society but most importantly about how women are exploited.
Asked about the word ‘bold’ which is otherwise positive, but has a negative connotation in our culture, Urwa said, “People have unrealistic expectations from women. We’re always fitting ourselves in boxes so we get that validation. I have friends who aren’t ‘bold’ at all, but even they have so many labels attached to them.”
