Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 4 (ANI): Actors Prajakta Koli and Freida Pinto have lent their voice to a film series titled ‘She Creates Change’, which aims to drive gender equality and literacy in low-income communities with the belief that educated women can change the world.

Curated by global education nonprofit Room to Read, the six-episode short film series narrates the stories of six girls hailing from historically low-income communities in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Vietnam who confront diverse challenges unique to their life and learn how to harness their inner strength and advocate for themselves and change their futures using particular life skills.

The series which combines animation and live-action documentary, addresses themes like climate justice, financial literacy, food insecurity, child marriage, discrimination, menstruation and sexual harassment, read a statement.

The project also features voiceovers from prominent actors and advocates from across the world including Charithra Chandran, Dilshad Vadsaria, Adhir Kalyan, Amita Suman, Amrita Acharia and Quyen Ngo.

‘ This film beautifully captures the diverse journeys of young girls from various regions, emphasizing the pivotal role of education in shaping their futures. Every girl deserves access to quality education and the chance to flourish.
