Ashley Judd to Visit India to Address the Issue of Violence Against Girls and Women

Buzz is that Hollywood beauty Ashley Judd will visit the capital of India not for shooting for her next but to participate in the Second World Congress Against the Sexual Exploitation of Women and Girls. The diva will most probably visit Delhi from January 29 to 30 to take part in three day event which is scheduled to be held at the India International Centre. The event is organised by Apne Aap (an organization that empowers girls to resist and end sex-trafficking) and CAP international (Coalition for Abolition of Prostitution).

The Identical star will first visit Kolkata on January 23 to attend an event where she will read out a translated version of a story titled ‘The Last Customer’, which is written by Niranjana. The poignant novel tells the story of a 16-year-old girl named Kani. Though the 48-year-old has visited India before but it will be her maiden trip to Kolkata.

Judd, who is a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), was recently in news for supporting the issue of misogynistic cyberbulling of women in the tech industry. The actress has always spoken against sexual harassment of women. Besides, she has also done some humanitarian work around AIDS and has also visited many places like Cambodia, Kenya, Rwanda, and many others which are affected by illness and poverty.
