Mumbai, March 9 Actress Soha Ali Khan described her return to the United Nations as a UNFPA Advocate as a "full circle moment" for her.
Soha revealed that her first job, which paid, was with UNIFEM (United Nations Development Fund for Women in New Delhi).
There, she worked towards advancing women's economic and political empowerment, as well as trying to end violence against women.
"Back in 1999, my first salaried job was with UNIFEM in New Delhi, working to advance women's economic and political empowerment and end violence against women," the actress wrote on the photo-sharing app.
Now, almost 3 decades later, Soha has returned to the United Nations as a UNFPA (The United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency) Advocate. This time, she will be advocating for crucial aspects of a woman's life, such as her reproductive health, menstrual health, gender equity, and, most importantly, their dignity.
She continued, "27 years later, I return as a UNFPA Advocate – championing reproductive health, menstrual health, gender equity, and the dignity of girls and women. The UN has always meant collective action for me – countries and communities coming together to protect opportunity and choice. Motherhood deepened that conviction. And it’s the same belief that shapes All About Her."
Soha concluded the post saying, "Some journeys come full circle – but with even more purpose. Here we go."
She often uses social media to express her opinions on various socially relevant matters, along with sharing updates about her personal and professional life.
Recently, Soha shared a heartfelt plea for peace amidst the growing tensions between Israel and Iran. She expressed her concern for all civilians, especially children, caught in the conflict.
Taking to the stories section of her official Instagram handle, Soha shared a note about “quieter skies and healing.”
“There is no alternative to peace. My thoughts and prayers are with the children, the innocent civilians. May tomorrow bring quieter skies and healing," shared the actress.
