Guess what Ashley Judd is doing these days? Well, she’s busy doing some altruistic work in the streets of Mumbai, India.
Being an ambassador of Population Services International, a Washington-based nonprofit welfare group, she is on a week long tour in the nation to disseminate awareness regarding HIV/AIDS.
She said, the empowerment of girls and women is an essential tool to preventing the HIV-AIDS emergency from exploding any further. She further added helping women understand their rights is crucial in the fight against HIV-AIDS. She believes that grass root prevention programs target women folk well.
The actress has traveled across the globe to focus attention on AIDS.
With 5.7 million infections, India has the world’s largest number of people living with HIV-AIDS. Judd is of the view that the problem is pervasive and hence must be meted out with a common solution.
