Actress Yami Gautam has joined hands with two NGOs -- Majlis and Pari (People Against Rape in India) -- to support victims of sexual assault and to work for their rehabilitation.
"Today with great pride I would like to share that I have joined hands with two NGOs who are constantly supporting and working towards the rehabilitation of victims of sexual assault," Yami said.
She elaborated that women`s safety still has a long way to go and her association with the NGOs for the cause emanates from this very subject.
"The need to work on these issues stems from the women`s safety issues which still exist. While some progress has been made, there`s a long way to go still," she said.
"My association with the NGOs is just the beginning and in the near future, I would like to contribute further in helping to procure better resources to protect and support women from all walks of life," she added.
