contribution towards empowerment of the girl child by the Festival of Globe
(FOG) in Silicon Valley, San Francisco recently. FOG is an annual event held to
empower and integrate global cultures and communities through Film Arts,
Performing Arts, Visual Arts and Folk Arts. This year, FOG had taken up the
cause of Empowering Youth to fight Sex Crimes.

been a strong advocate of fighting the stigma around single motherhood - she
herself adopted two girls when she was just 21.

associated with motherhood and women's rights. Her next release is Ashtar
Sayed's 'The Mother’, written and produced by Michael Pellico
A delighted Raveena Tandon said, "It gives me immense
pleasure to receive this award. I am proud to join hands with Festival of Globe
in their fight against sex crimes and their drive for empowering youth towards
a brighter tomorrow."

saving the girl child.”
