Few people have the courage to stand up for what is right, to put their life and image at stake. Few have the audacity to question when something is wrong, to be the bearer of the torch, guiding and representing others. Bollywood’s Elnaaz Norouzi, an actress, a model, a singer and now an activist and most importantly the voice of those many women who are oppressed and lack basic freedom is one of those brave souls. The actress was recently awarded the accolade for this act of hers, which inspired and supported hundreds of women worldwide. She received the Indian Fashion industries, Ambassador, for Change Award for her contributions to the Fight for Equality and Freedom of Iranian Women.

This is a proud moment for all of us, where Elnaaz is also being recognized for her outstanding courage and is one of the Top 100 Women of the Year list curated by Focus Magazine Germany. The list includes women who have encouraged and pushed boundaries against all odds. The magazine says: “these are the 100 women we should
Listen to”. A big step in the right direction and a source of inspiration, Elnaaz remains the most outspoken actress today for women’s rights.

A few weeks back, Elnaaz made a huge bang with a video in which she is seen adopting different styles of clothing right from a head to toe covering one to almost nothing stating that either style is each woman’s choice. Elnaaz Norouzi had broken the internet that day with her bold and impactful post on social media promoting freedom of choice for every woman in the world!
