We admire actress Renuka Shahane for being vocal about various critical social issues.
She makes sure that she raises valid points on issues that might be critical in changing our society for the better.
And, recently, she took up to social media to share her views on Suchitra Krishnamoorthi’s tweet wherein she (Suchitra) compared sex workers to criminals.
In her tweet, Suchitra wrote,
“Amma always said, Money is not everything. Even criminals and whores have money. What matters is not money but character and integrity. I truly understand her words only today. Jeez I’ve never felt more proud of my middle class roots.”
Reading this tweet, Renuka shared her views in the most delightful and adorable way:
No disrespect to your Amma @suchitrak but as women let’s try & correct the injustice that our traditions have imposed on whores. We castigated whores while letting off their customers who are leading “respectful” lives! Let’s not put whores & criminals in one bracket at least 1/4 https://t.co/qQkwPSGztZ

She further added:
Whores sell what is theirs. Criminals take what is others. Whores are often pushed into their profession due to human trafficking at ages as young as 7. Does any child have the right to say “no” at that age? Whores are pushed into prostitution by people they trust explicitly 2/4 https://t.co/qQkwPSGztZ

Whores are abused, raped, tortured, drugged, given hormonal injections at a very early age & then raped relentlessly throughout their professional lives. Most of what should be their earnings is taken away by pimps & middlemen or middle women! 3/4 https://t.co/qQkwPSGztZ

After reading her thoughts, even Suchitra appreciated her views. Both of them concluded the conversation with a tweet appreciating each other:
Yes I have been following that thread & I do think you are incredibly brave for following it up relentlessly ???? https://t.co/Vb8uq5BxKo
