Megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
feels
sad
with
the
increasing
number
of
atrocities
against
women
and
says
that
such
acts
need
immediate
attention
as
women
are
born
to
live
free.
"Stop
this
disrespect!
Measure
the
presence
of
women
in
our
existence
with
required
dignity!
Protect
them
that
fall
unfortunate
victims
to
savage
inhuman
intent
and
stand
tough
against
them
who
raise
their
hands
to
defile
them," the
70-year-old
posted
on
his
blog
srbachchan.tumblr.com.
"Despite
great
awareness
ideals
that
have
taken
space
and
demonstration
among
the
society,
the
atrocities
continue
with
abandon.
Great
introspection
needs
to
be
done
to
fathom
the
reason
and
the
continuous
disregard
for
all
that
should
be
looked
upon
as
an
evil."
"I
will
not
agree
with
the
reasoning
that
such
incidents
happen
all
over
the
world
or
whether
the
statistics
favour
another
region
or
not.
I
am
interested
in
why
it
is
happening
at
all,"
he
further
added.
With
International
Women's
Day
falling
Friday,
Big
B
also
supports
Breakthrough's
latest
campaign.
"8
March,
I
will
be
doing
my
bit
to
make
the
world
a
safer
place
for
women.
What's
your
promise?
Ring
the
bell,"
he
posted.
"Supporting
Breakthrough's
latest
campaign.
Will
ring
the
bell
for
a
world
where
women
feel
safe,
free,
and
secure.
One
million
men
make
one
million
promises
to
end
violence
against
women
this
year.
What's
yours?
There
is
a
cause
that
needs
support.
There
is
a
call
that
needs
attention.
And
there
is
a
heart
that
needs
to
be
heard,"
he
further
posted.

play
in
reducing
violence.
