Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu took to her Instagram to share a post by gender researcher and poet Farida that addressed the issue of women being sexually objectified via a powerful quote. “Teach your sons not to sexually objectify women, instead of teaching your daughters not to be sexual,” the quote reads.

“Because denying your daughter the right to be sexual is another way of objectifying her,” the quote further added. Samantha captioned image saying, “Yess!!”
Samantha often shares posts on Instagram voicing her thoughts on women-centric issues. Earlier this month, she had shared an old clip of actor Priyanka Chopra speaking at the Forbes Women’s Summit in 2018 about women empowerment.
In the video, Priyanka Chopra was heard saying, “Women should sound like this. Women should wear this. Women at this point should get married. We are always told what we should do. We need to be able to decide what we should do. Give me the ability to make my own decisions without judging me. Just the same kind of freedom men have had for such a long time.”
Samantha had also shared a quote on life by Cheryl Strayed. It read, “Most things will be okay, but not everything will be. Sometimes you will put up a good fight and lose. Sometimes you’ll hold on really hard and realize there is no choice but to let go. Acceptance is a small, quiet room.”
