Addressing the function, Anupam said, “It is good to take care of oneself instead of depending on husband or others”. She said a girl child should be provided unconditional upbringing and all mothers should help provide their daughters a better future. 

She urged all women to know their rights and claim them because when one woman stands up for herself, she stands up for all women.
