Highlighting the concerning issue of gender inequality in the present day, Mrs Gulati spoke at length about her work in the State of Punjab. She said, “Gender equality is a theoretical term. It will become a reality when members of all genders respect each other. What is also required is a strong law that promotes gender justice.”
Talking about her own struggles, Mrs. Gulati added, “As a woman, I felt discriminated against. I decided to take matters into my own hands and get a good education. I then, decided to fight for gender justice.” She said, “I’m trying to bring justice to our women in a male-dominated society. Women don’t get equality in public and professional life. But there are cases where males also don’t find a voice when they try to fight for gender justice. I stand for all genders and the truth.”
