I feel privileged and honored to spend time. As they walked with the candle, the light showcased how they are brightening their lives and the lives of the people around them. The attack has made them much stronger and beautiful in their own way. I would like to thank them for inspiring me and bringing out the true meaning of Diwali – Spreading the light in darkness. As a society let us focus on building an inclusive community and stop the attacks. India has been witnessing the highest number of acid and fire attacks against the women. Let us also give them an opportunity to grow and live a dignified life in the society”

Nidarshana Gowani and her NGO Ankibai Ghamandiram Gowani Trust holds events throughout the year to encourage and support the different sections of the society. These events encourage the people impacted to lead their life with dignity and pride. It also pushes across a strong message in the society that we should not discriminate and help every section of the society to grow. We need to bring about a change in the society by building an inclusive environment.
