Priyanka Chopra has the PERFECT reply to this question about a follower asking her why she is helping the poverty in Ethiopia but not the poverty in India! After her Cannes 2019 debut, Priyanka Chopra took off to Ethiopia where she has been meeting school children, especially women and discussing their problems like poverty, lack of education etc. The actress, who is the UNICEF ambassador for these social causes, recently planned a Q&A session with her fans on social media where she opted to answer all questions related to her Ethiopia visit! During the same, quite a number of fans also quizzed her about why she has been concentrating and dedicating time to Ethiopia instead of helping out her motherland India. The actress however, sportingly gave an apt answer where she discussed the fragile condition of the country and why they are in dire need of every necessity. “Ethiopia at the moment is going through a silent emergency and I am going to these refugee camps to meet these kids, listen to their stories and be a voice for them. I want to use my voice to amplify theirs,” she said. View this post on Instagram An overview of the questions @priyankachopra answered about her visit in Ethiopia!

Amongst them, here are a few posts: View this post on Instagram This is Hasina (15), she is a 7th grade student who loves to go to school. She used to live with her sister and her husband, and without her knowing, her sisters’ husband was arranging her marriage to one of his friends...she was 12 at the time. One day when the man visited her house to pester her parents to marry her, she escaped to a friends house and the next day went to one of the community-based child’s marriage prevention platforms (alone), which she had heard about at school. She asked herself, if She married now, would she ever go back to school again? Hasina loves learning and wasn’t willing to trade her education or freedom for anything.That gave her the courage to stand up for herself. The community, along with the authorities, stepped in and stopped the marriage. The man was charged. It’s important to understand that it takes an immense amount of courage to go against these cultural “norms” that have existed for centuries. Hasina is a very brave girl. It was so heartening to see the elders in the community learning from the examples these young girls are setting, standing up against child marriage and female genital mutilation/cutting. Education gave these girls that perspective. This community is an example of how change is possible. FEMALE RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.

A post shared by Priyanka Chopra Jonas (@priyankachopra) on May 21, 2019 at 11:06am PDT View this post on Instagram Abda Abdulaziz, 26, arrived at the Bambasi camp in 2011 seeking refuge from the war in Sudan. Her 5 children were born in this camp and are being raised here, while her husband works as a laborer at a nearby farm - they see each other every two weeks for a few days. She said that if the violence in her country settles, she and her husband may consider going back, but she is not very hopeful that will happen. In the meantime, life in the camp allows her children to have access to an education. I met two of her daughters, Zulfa Ata Ey, 8, and Muzalefa, 10, at the primary school I had visited earlier in the day. Zulfa is at the top of her class and her mom is so proud. While they’re safe and her children are receiving an education, they are still living below the poverty line, and she’s desperate for the most basic supplies...like water, books, and clothes for her children.
