Matrix Resurrections star Priyanka Chopra paid tribute to 'incredible women' on her social media recently on the occasion of International Women's Day, expressing her gratitude towards brave women on the frontline of the world's refugee crisis.
In her Instagram post Chopra included a post with the beloved Greek grandmothers of the island of Lesvos who made international headlines and nominated for the Nobel Peace prize in 2016 for their sacrifice and efforts in helping Syrian children and mothers seeking refuge.
Chopra wrote: “They rose from amongst us, for the world, to serve the world. On a day meant to honour women around the world, I wanted to showcase some incredible women whose stories inspire me.”
She went on to add, “These brave women are on the frontline of the refugee crisis around the world. I thank you for your tireless dedication. I wish you all a very happy #InternationalWomensDay.”
Earlier, Chopra called for help on behalf of UNICEF as she describes the situation ‘terrible’ of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
She wrote, “The situation unfolding in Ukraine is terrifying. Innocent people living in fear for their lives and the lives of their loved ones, while trying to navigate the uncertainty of the immediate future.”
“It’s difficult to comprehend how in the modern world this could escalate to such a catastrophic point, but this is a consequential moment that will reverberate around the world,” her statement continues.
