Gender equality a human issue: Sonam Kapoor

Mumbai: Actress Sonam Kapoor says gender equality is a human issue.

Sonam on Friday retweeted a post by the Senate of Canada. It pointed out how Canada's Senate has stood for making the country's national anthem gender-neutral by deleting the word "sons" and changing it for "us". Applauding this, the "Neerja" actress tweeted: "Gender Equality is a human issue and we're entitled to have equal rights. Glad to see Canada taking the lead on this."
