With all the injustice happening with women, it is important to make people realize their humanity and responsibility towards every individual and raise a voice against gender discrimination. Vibha, who has worked on very powerful films dealings with gender equality and woman empowerment, having her besides us is a privilege. After this screening, we are confident that the Mumbai Police will stand alongside us to spread the message of NO MEANS NO."

Vibha Bakshi, on her part, said, “Films like Pink are a powerful medium to bring about change and we need more such fire power to come together. Proud to now join hands with Rashmi Sharma, the outstanding Pink team and grateful for the Police support to take the dialogue on gender bias forward. It will keep the movement going".
