“I believe that every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man” – Joke Silva shares her Thoughts on Gender Equality

The veteran actress has some new photos, shot by Yetunde Babaeko and styled by Yolanda Okereke, and we love them!

She shared a few of the photos on Instagram while also dropping some wise words about gender inequality.

The photos were shot in a bid to promote the upcoming Hear Word! Tour.

See what she wrote below.

I believe we are equal and that every human should have equal rights. I also believe that every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man. The extension of equal rights is the basic principle of progress. 
We will never have true civilization or growth until we have learned to recognize the importance of equal rights.Gender inequality affects us all, it’s like having a head without a brain or having a body without functional organs. In Malala Yousafzai’s words “We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back”.#SayNoToGenderInequality #HeForShe#Empowerment #GenderEquality #Women #Strength
