We always talk about women rights and safety but never really make a step forward to stand with the women who face humiliation and injustice everyday in their life because we Indians can only talk and do nothing. Women get raped, insulted, molested now a days in public and still people just stand with their eyes closed. In this all Bollywood plays a big role as people get influenced by what they watch on the big screen and watching their favourite actor teasing the actress or throwing nasty comments on them as a way of showing love just gets serious when the people start doing it in open. But not anymore!

Jheel Goradia, a 21 year old mixed media creator from Mumbai is an alum from Raffles Design International and works for an outline organization called Base 501.


Jheel has been as of late knocking some people's socks off with her venture #BreakingTheSilence. Her project aims to inspire women and people in general to speak up about the injustices women face in our country. Through her specialty, she additionally needs to highlight how Bollywood has for the most part portrayed ladies as auxiliary characters.




She began doing this as a piece of her last year extend at school. She needed to make an announcement against the social shameful acts that win in our nation and attempted to give a voice to every one of the individuals who are smothered by society.


India provides chances to ladies obviously, with them having a voice in regular day to day existence, in the business world and in political life. In any case India in general is as yet a male ruled society, where ladies are frequently observed as subordinate and mediocre compared to men. This is regularly delineated much more so in Bollywood films.




She used street art as a medium to pass on her message since she needed her messages to be rebellious, unavoidable and in the face for everyone. The majority of this roused her to make this battle, which would be a voice for every one of those ladies, whose voices have been smothered by the general public. She named it #Breakingthesilence since her campaign's primary goal was to split the hush and stand for the privileges of the women in India and make it a more secure place for them to be in.



Her idea behind using Bollywood iconography is to convey the message to the youth. And of course, what could be more relatable and attention-grabbing than popular actors?
