Just like the reality show in which Aamir Khan discusses about the evils in our society, during this 'Women In the World Summit', the actor raised issues of female infanticide/foeticide, gender discrimination and honour killing among others. He further also added that change is a must in this society and when it has to be brought about in the mindset of more than ninety percent of the population, it has to be done with love. However, he further even addressed the issue of rape, wherein he asked the rapists to be punished severely and treat the victims with respect and care. Meryl Streep too extended her support for women rights.
