Young filmmaker and entrepreneur Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth Dhanush has been announced as the UN Women’s Advocate for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment in India.

Aishwaryaa will help raise awareness of UN Women’s core messages of gender equality and women’s empowerment across India, boosting the organisation’s efforts to close the gender gap and achieve a more equal world – a Planet 50-50 – by the year 2030.

Aishwarya's father Superstar Rajinikanth said he was proud and delighted to have his daughter associated with UN Women to further gender equality. "Aishwaryaa has always been her own woman, poised and resolute. Her success is the result of sheer courage, determination and perseverance. I support her dedication to gender equality and her untiring efforts will go a long way in strengthening women’s rights throughout the region."I support gender equality. And I encourage all men and boys to take the HeForShe pledge. As a father I am very proud that UN Women has selected Aishwaryaa as their Advocate for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment in India. I am extremely happy she is associating herself for such a prestigious and relevant cause."

Apart from that the Superstar has also tweeted that he is happy that Aishwaryaa has associated with UN Women.

In getting this honourable responsibility, Aishwaryaa joins other high profile figures such as actor-filmmaker-singer Farhan Akhtar, tennis star Sania Mirza, British actor Emma Watson, Academy Award winners Nicole Kidman and Anne Hathaway, and HRH Princess Bajrakitiyabha Mahidol of Thailand, who have joined hands with UN Women to work for gender equality and the empowerment of women.
